I was, admittedly, a reluctant Obama supporter [Hil was my gal], but I was moved and cried like everybody else when he was elected. Well, like many.

For the most part, I'm pleased. After 8 years of W., it's hard not to be. HOWEVER, I'm sorry (but not surprised) to say that he has underwhelmed on a number of issues -- gay rights and health care, for starters.

In the heady days following the inauguration, this was the administration that said: go big or go home.

Well, I don't want them to go home...so they'd better go big.

The barbarians are at the gate. They always are. And they'll be back...so what does this man want to get accomplished before they do?
