I'm starting to hear (it happened on C-Span this am) some of what you heard 
right after the election -- there really are a subset of people who believe 
that BO will somehow 'provide" for them; they are counting on it.  I just 
hope it is a very small group.


The "me, me" generation is that lousy 1960's generation ;-).  They created 
all of this mess and they'll be here to see the results of what they wrought 
(i put the winking emoticon because at least one person is from that 
generation-  mine was lousy too)
