"....change HAS come. The effects won't be realized in full force immediately, but that's because in President Obama we have a top chess player, not a brute force boxer. I rather favor the first style, not because I shrink from confrontation either, but because it simply works better. I say that with full acknowledgment that I myself am a natural born shin kicker. I have my role to fulfill, he has his own. Some GOP haven't quite caught on yet that we DO have single payer now; the great state of Vermont! Trust me, that's just the beginning. I don't like it any better than President Obama does, but the fact remains that big ships turn slow. He's far more a revolutionary than would appear at first glance."
