Obama's closest advisers - including The Buffett - have been telling him to focus on the economy. This issue is going in to full-gear now. Since November 4, the stock market has dropped like a rock with 1-2 days where it went up any number of points. Another two weeks of drops like this and we will be at 6000. The loss of wealth - well, more than the rest of the world has combined.
Taxes - less and less likely. Strike one of Obama's tentpoles.
Iran does not want to talk to Obama. You may remember, ALL ALONG the claim was - Bush hasn't talked to Iran, he should, McCain won't - Obama will. La dee da - Iran isn't interested. Worse - Iran now can make one nuclear weapon. Strike another tentpole from Obama's promises.
Change - he would not let influence peddlers in to his administration. He would not let the lobbyists get a foot in the door. We now know he has left places for the wealthiest of his donors in his transition team. Strike another tentpole from the Obama campaign promises.
Obama was about a fresh face - doing it differently. And his cabinet is either a) from Chicago, or b) a retread of the Clinton administration, or c) hacks from the congress during the Clinton administration.
I am not sure how many tentpoles hold up his tent, but I'd be worried.
Of course the Obamessiah followers do not see any of this - they are awash in his glow, and wouldn't see what is staring at them if they bumped into it.
