we could just as well compare obama to vaclav havel...but we shouldn't, as america is not similar to either of these countries.

Perhaps you missed the point. Imo, the point is that we are at a point in history when the people are craving for true leadership and change + you have the media giving a candidate a free ride (rather than doing their job) = you open yourself up to horrendous possibilities. We don't know what Obama will do because no one is putting his feet to the fire. It's like being desperate for money, so you go "all in" when you haven't even looked at your cards. Obama promises change. What change? He promises "to spread the wealth around". He is fickle with his relationships to the point where I feel he'll say anything, anytime, anywhere if it is politically expedient + way too many people are infatuated with him (including the press). If he wins in a landslide, then he will claim a mandate for change (without definition) has arrived, the people have spoken. Congress goes strong Democrat, so there are fewer checks and balances. The possibilities are potentially horrific. Let's just hope he's what the Obamaniacs believe him to be or at least benign because America is about ready to give this guy a blank check.
