The biggest single concern I had about our new president was that he might decide that for good or ill, he knew best. This was a reasonable fear because most presidents believe the same thing about themselves.
After yesterday’s speech and announcement about the stimulus package, I believe my fears will be realized again with President Obama. He knows what he wants to do and he is going to insist upon following the path he chooses, because the American people voted for him and for change and dog-gonnet that means he can do no wrong.
Perhaps I exaggerate. We’ll see.
What I do know is we have had eight years of a fellow who followed his own course, or a particular course…who knows if it was his own, despite popular opinion, despite advice from his own party, regardless of opposition he kept doing it his way.
I think we just elected ourselves another one.
