I fear for our country because I think we are seeing a fundamental change. I'm not worried so much that Obama is driving us to Marxism or socialism. I'm more worried about our position as a world superpower in financial markets. I worry that we're seeing the last days of the America that you and I grew up in.

I see the economy as just another part the downward trend we are on. As a country, we're lost our way -- started somewhere in the mid-60's. We've been moving away from the values that made us the envy of other countries. I see it in our politicians -- look how many of them have ethical and legal issues. I believe that people didn't so much vote for Obama as they voted for "change". People are afraid of the way things are going -- not just the Bush Administration or the Clinton administration, and they are just hoping that someone knows the way out. Unfortunately, I think we have a lot more lessons to learn before we find our way out, and once we find the way out, we're looking at a much different country than any of us know. It's not that Obama is taking us there -- we've been on this road for a long time.

Re: the politicians, I think it is possible to stand by your beliefs while looking for places that you can work together. I still think this looks an awful like like politics as usual.
