What will Obama's most radical idea be?

1. It is impossible for him to bring balance back to the Supreme Court.

The conservative majority will be there for decades.

All he can do is replace the very, very old liberals and moderates with the same.

Thanks, Ralph Nader.

6. But Obama can hold the nutballs' aspirations at bay.

That's a kind of balance.

2. Supreme court, definitely.

of all those things you cite, the one that the crazy-assed fundie nutballs are most concerned about is having a path to stacking the SCOTUS with extremists closed off.

They really thought their time had come, since in the next four years it was almost certain that at least two Justices would either die or become incapacitated due to age.

I am confident that Obama will think of the nation's future and nominate Justices who are not only wise and decent, but relatively young.

3. He might truly govern as a president for all Americans instead of only dem or repubs

or wealthy individuals

[baldguy]

4. He might actually read the Constitution - and FOLLOW it!

OMG!

[lebkuchen]

5. He might take "arrogant asshole" out of the U.S. diplomacy "bag of tricks"

The UN ambassadorship needs to be particularly well chosen, after all the damage John Bolton had done to America's image. Pick somebody diplomatic and sensitive to other cultures for a change of pace.

[Kip Humphrey]

7. Heal the divisions of political bipolarity wrought by the boomer generation

Speaking as a boomer.

[ET Awful]

8. The radical proposition that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their creator

with certain inalienable rights?
