Facts: Obama is NOT a godsend.

He's not Mr. Fixit. If we're real lucky, he'll make the economy a bit better in his first term, and if we're real lucky, he'll do what's right about terrorism (and that does not include negotiation).

Unfortunately, waging new wars means our economy suffers more as well. So unless we see a WWIII where America is not heavily involved, war will only hurt our economy.

So it's up to us to choose: The war on terror or the war on poverty?

If only we could have our cake and eat it too.
