I voted for Obama and his election made me feel like the U.S. is a more welcoming place. I was so scared when Bush was in office. I am disappointed with Obama, though. I think he’s more concerned with financial elites and corporations than working people. I think the bank bailout was given with little thought and had no strings attached to try to change the risky behavior that caused the collapse. I’m also disappointed with the public option he’s proposing although I think it’s better than not having a public option, as long as there’s a mandate that everyone purchase health insurance. I’d much rather see Medicare expanded to cover everyone. I’m frustrated that I can’t find any information about the amount of subsidization for lower income people. How much will it cost if we *must* buy health insurance? I’m upset that he doesn’t seem to be doing much to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Baffled by his winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I’d probably vote for him again, though…

Who else is there?
I still think he’s still the best choice we had and have available – and the only one who coulda got us this far in the health care sweepstakes. But he can (and hopefully will) do more.
