The fact that he is willing to step and and spend political capital to address the recession, despite not being president yet, and claim ownership indicate that this man will put country ahead of self. A lesser, and traditionally "wiser" politician would stay far away from taking ownership of such a thing, for fear of being attached to it. The upcoming recession is obviously a product of many bad policies inacted over the last two decades, but you already see talking heads trying to cast the recession as an "Obama recession." Crazy.

Yeah, I’m still riding high on the high from actively participating in the democratic process – the results of the election are an added bonus! Thanks for sharing your CD. I especially like No Turning Back and Canada. Best to you. Diane
