And things that don't work we're gonna get rid of." Really?

Actually, that's the kind of talk that got him elected. He's been pragmatic, evidence based, rational, and intelligent the whole time. Maybe you never noticed it before now.

An attitude of negativity toward someone before they have even had their first day on the job. I think you must have been in the HR department doing my last couple of interviews. Could it be that this worrysomeperspective might NOT have been the best platform for the Republican party to run on? could it be that these perceptions of Right and Wrong in politics just might not be as contrasted as you may think. Maybe presidents are only different on the surface because they are all still presidents. I would caution many other commentors in bringing up and comparing dead presidents, when there are live presidents that should be answering for poor decisions today.

FDR's policies were disasters, extending and deepening the depression-while Reagan's bold moves represented a move in teh exact opposite direction. Reagan brought prosperity.
Obama has made it clear he does not knwo the difference.
