What will be now that B.O. is president
I don't know how many of you followed most of the issues during the race, but I just heard about the Google giant Eric Schmidt being added to B.O.'s financial advisory board…Awesome!

It seems that a lot of people believe that he is going to be a 180 degree turn from Bush. Barack has voted/supported pivotal Bush policy over the years such as: -FISA -The recent bailout -The Patriot Act -The War in Iraq (he voted against it, though his postponal of their withdrawal in his speeches and whatnot make it seem as though they will still be stationed there through his first term) Not to mention, he has said that war in Pakistan is on the table if they do not turn over Osama bin Laden. This bothers me because if we destabilize that country (a nuclear country mind you), a nuclear bomb or dirty bomb being used either against our troops or civilians could be very likely.
Note that this is not intended to be a blast against Democrats/Obama supporters in anyway, but rather my view on the matter.

alot of this is only half true. he, like many, were apposed to the wiretaps in the patriot act (this is a VERY expansive bill). he also is against the war in iraq…i'm not sure what you are insinuating. he funded the troops, which many try to construe as him funding (and thus being for) the war.
i'm not a obama groopie (i'm a libertarian), but he sure is a polar opposite to bush. even if it's just his intellectual curiosity…
