If Obama is going to be POTUS I think it is only fair that he also have a filibuster-proof majority in both house and senate. So that Obama, Pelosi and Reid can work together, unchecked, to institute what policies they see fit- 1) no new drilling closer than 100 miles offshore (in other words 80% of known reserves are off limits) 2) carbon taxes on coal plants for the purpose of driving them out of business (the San Francisco Chronicle to thank for revealing this) 3) raising the highest marginal tax rates to 39%- because redistributing wealth to remedy income equality (which is manifestly UNFAIR) is more important than stimulating the economy or bringing money into government coffers, even in a recession. 4) troops withdrawn from Iraq immediately, and removal from command (or at least, diluting his authority) of the General Who Betrayed Us (by winning) 5) re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine, so HC can have a government-appointed Fairness Enforcer (I nominate Chick) 6) unauthorized investigations and public humiliation of any private citizen who displays hostility to the new administration. 7) because I know I left something out All Change is Good Change. And the more Extreme the Change, the Better. Don't judge Obama by what he has ever done (or not done), judge him by what he SAYS he will do. Because you can rest assured he is not lying to you just to get elected. Obama "08!
