It's sooooooooooo weird to have my values represented....my vote to count. And newspapers to actually not just spout talking points. This comes from the Philadelphia paper and it's not even an op-ed piece.
[Obama] sought to put his imprint on the coming decade with an agenda sharply different from that of the eight years under Republican George W. Bush, including universal health care, broad tax cuts, and a helping hand for the working and middle classes; greater regulation of business, and an aggressive plan to limit emissions that cause global warming.
House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R., Ohio) countered, "The era of big government is back, and Democrats are asking you to pay for it."
The era of big government never went away; spending and debt grew under Republican rule from 2001 to 2007. There was little doubt, however, that the role of that government is poised to change.
Am I dreaming? We went from the folksy forces of good vs. evil nonsense to the black guy wanting to actually focus on the problems in America? Wow...I say.
