The first four weeks of the Obama administration one thing has become painfully clear and he is a calculating person and he may put forth this nice bipartisan talk. There are two examples of how he has acted. 

The census has been moved from the commerce department to the White House and under the watch of Rahm Emanuel. Rahm Emanuel believe in "estimating" the population in urban centers and not counting the people as the constitution requires. This will lead to gerrymandering the districts to try to divide and conquer the conservative voting block. This along with the stimulus or "spendulus" package will lead to what amounts to a recreation of the New Deal, which contrary to "liberal thought" extended the Great Depression. World War II got us out of the great depression, not the New Deal. These things led to Senator Gregg to withdraw his name from  commerce secretary consideration. This has been nothing more than a power grab by President Obama, who came from the Chicago political machine, and you do not get through that machine by being nice and helping others. I wonder how socialist we will become in the next four years...
