For me, it is the double whammy of both the consolidation of power and the removal of checks and balances. I suppose it is really the same thing, but whatever. It is one thing to change a country by working within the parameters of existing government, it is another to change the government. Do I think that has happened yet? No. However, I don't like the path we are on. And let me be clear about the way I feel. I don't think this started with President Obama. I believe it started years ago and got traction when FEMA was given additional power. President Bush took us further down the path with the Patriot Act, and now Obama seems to be following course, too. I had hoped that there would be a change of path, but instead, I feel we are walking faster down the wrong road. I feel we are approaching 'something', and I can't help but wonder who is behind it all as Khrushchev words echo in my head("We Will Bury You!") Perhaps it is just the fast that I grew up in a conservative enclave where the fear was not as much about nuclear annihilation but about collapse from within due to weakening values and ineffective liberal government stretched too far. I'm sure that skews the way I see things, even though I try to keep it in check.

I would love to sit down some cold evening with a pint of bitters with a few of you to try to understand why the expectation that one man elected through the very system people detest could be expected to turn things around in under >a year.

That's not why some people are so afraid. They don't like the things he's already done, but also fear what he might do. And some people are very vocal about the things he might do. Some people believe that he is consolidating power by setting up 'czars' that report directly to him. As Bev said, this country is becoming more divided...people who support what he is trying to do, and people who think he is doing damage to the country.
