Yes, the American's that were swayed by his words
can re-evaluate what they bought into.
Add to them the ones who stayed home from voting (see my post of the article by Hope Yen) and it adds up to him winning the election.
While all that counts is who won....when reviewing the total number of votes he won the election by, his election was not a landslide mandate.
Another reason he is in the fast track all his programs mode....he knows he cannot maintain his agenda and the backing of the American people.
He knows they will sit on their duffs until sooner or later they get inspired to do something. He knows that could well turn him into another Jimmy Carter POTUS.
2010 could and should start to show the trend. The desire of the non term limited politicians to remain in office will soon start to have an impact. In fact some of that is starting to show on the health care reform.
We can only hope these trends continue.
