    I'll give him "not as bad as I expected" but that's as far as I'll go.

      He's a quintessential "Do Somthing!" guy, which is the sort of guy that Americans generally like in government despite what a Reaganite would tell you.

      Of course, the shit he does is likely to be very short-sighted and unlikely to be particularly left-leaning. He's going to be the kind of President that happily opens up ANWR to drilling while telling the National Guard to start sticking solar panels made with conflict cobalt on everyone's roofs, in order to get energy prices down.

      In that sense, maybe he really is the FDR (or at least the LBJ) we were all promised back when Obama ran. Another guy who can save capitalism from itself.
