I've been concerned by the extreme enthusiasm some friends and
acquaintances express for Barak Obama. Certainly he is an immensely
talented and inspirational orator, but many seem blinded by a
(perhaps understandable) kind of desperate hope for 'change' and
'something different.' Where is the healthy skepticism for which
Americans were once, long ago known? Perhaps Obama is the best of
available choices now, but his voting record shows something much
less than a 'different' focus.

Yes, the above linked op-ed comes from a member of the Nader
campaign, but the facts of Obama's legislative decisions remain.
