    No. So much ignored over the last eight years.

    Can't imagine running for, winning and stepping into a Presidency .. with "all this" to deal with. Not exactly a blank slate upon which to pur forth a platform. Not a "little course correction" as all Presidents do .. from one to another.

    In this case? Absolute domestic melt-down - inherited. Pendulum swing needed to now fix. Will take time. Sure didn't develop in 30, 60, 90 days.

    In fact, I flat out resent the policies that brought us here .. through neglect, contempt, deregulation and complete disregard for basic civil rights/liberties .. whether in prisoners or citizen's phone lines.

    But the POINT is I'm glad to see Obama taking a stand and LEADING. He's also TELLING US what he's doing and why. Some may work. Some may not. But I feel for the first time in awhile, that's someone's at the wheel! He's said he'll "own" what goes on in his administration. What a concept!!! I'm tired of having someone who didn't even acknowledge we HAD any issues. In fact, say anything - cover up anything - as long as the war and "contracts" got funded and awarded.

    Ok ... sorry ... I got waaaaay off here.

    We may go up, down and sideways here trying to deal with the ENORMOUS MESS sitting in front of us .. a mess we SHOULD have been told about .. and a mess that SHOULD have had dollars and energy allocated to it LONG before now!!!

    But my perception of our current President is that he'll pay attention - try things to the best of his (and his team's) ability. I'm very supportive of someone I believe is AWARE, TRYING, WORKING .. on our behalf.

    In fact, I hope enough citizens feel that way and go on to say "how can I help"!!!
