The main points being made here all revolve around the economic doings of a future Obama administration. This seems to have gripped everyone, cognescenti or not, as the primary thing.

A closer look at cabinet appointments indicates that the economic theater of operations will be one where very little change from the past eight years will be seen. Most of O’s appointments, while not free market enough to make clubbers all that happy, are nonetheless within the realm of what can be tolerated.

O will do the backpedaling he needs to do to keep the lunchpailers and regular-folk dems in the fold in the arena of economics.

Where he will repay the debt he owes to the Kos/DU/moveon/academic leftists is in the area of the cultural war on the West. Here is where he will reserve his energy and focus for radicalism. Greenred environmentalism, escalationg the war on conservative Christianity, promoting speech codes and hatecrime legislation, bringin back the “fairness” doctrine and extending it to the internet through net neutrality or some equivalent, limiting firearm freedom, increasing abortion, mandating a cultural Marxist public highschool curriculum – these and other areas of Gramscian termite damage will be where he stepss way out and does the radical thing.

Watch both hands of the magicican, folks, and don’t get too caught up in the economic thing.
