Okay, now that it’s official (he’s President now, in case you didn’t know), I want to solidify my thoughts on Obama. I’m not a hard-core liberal by any means, but I have some views on these issues – some that differ, and some that match. Mostly differ, but it’s a “lesser of two evils” thing for me.
