The Obama List.

Obama supporters seemed to have some very clear ideas as to what their candidate was going to do. Granted, if you asked why they were voting for him you'd hear "change" as the main reason, which isn't very specific, but it sure feels like it. Besides, that doesn't matter anymore.

Obama detractors actually did have some very clear ideas as to what he would accomplish should he win. "He's a Marxist who's going to ruin business, lose the war, and in some extreme cases they think he's a Muslim sleeper agent who will soften us up so the terrorists can take over.

So, here's what you should do regardless of which side you're on. Write down the things you think a President Obama will accomplish. Did you vote for him because he said we'd be out of Iraq in 16 months? Did you not vote for him because he would raise capitol gains taxes? Write that down.

Come up with as many reasons as you can for why you did or didn't vote for him. Save your list and every year around Christmas time, pull it out. Go thru the list and check off the ones that happened.

I'm willing to bet that no matter which side you're on, most of your list will go unchecked.
