I have a big problem with your comment on entitlement. That word is wildly overused, and it should be banned from any intelligent conversation. But in defense of the residents of TV, I will have to say that most people in TV have retired after many years of paying real dollars into the Social Security System, and feel "entitled" to their benefits. How can you argue with that? It's their money! Regarding the president, I too am very impressed with his myriad abilities, not the least of which is his eloquence. But I am very nervous about the obvious strategy of income redistribution. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it is clear that he is intent on reversing the Reagan Revolution. I loved President Reagan, but can agree that his agenda went too far in favor of the corporate interests. But I also feel that Obama is moving way too fast in the opposite direction. We need action, but in a moderate way. So far I'm a lot more nervous than confident.
