Obama has made it pretty clear what he intends to do.

I think that's really the main thing dividing our country. Conservatives are generally more self-sufficient, self-reliant and take more personal responsibility for their current circumstances and future promise. The left tends to relay more on the government and solutions provided by others for their future outcomes and general well being.

Much as the very debate is here, some of us want the government out of the way and let the people get this country moving yet others see the government as the only way out and the only solution to our problems.

It seems to me over the years there are more and more people with their hands out looking for entitlements.

Obama plays into that sentiment very well. The government can be all things to all people and apparently that's what at least 1/2 our county wants.

The next 4 - 8 years will be a battle for our soul and I have no doubt our founding fathers are turning over in their graves.
