Yay for intentions - Obama is post-election talking about halving, HALVING, the deficit. Granted a lot comes from ceasing the war, but I'm thrilled that he is talking about some other responsible measures such as allowing the top income bracket tax cut to expire and reducing spending.

I'm still being impressed by this guy - how did a decent human being get through the public eye and vetting processes? Will he be another Carter?
