I was being fair. I was not referring to that 100 year rhetorical statement to show his commitment to doing (what he believes) the right thing.
He thinks we will need to be there for a couple for another decade or two. It was his non-rhetorical assessment of the situation.
His fatal flaw is running with a pro-war platform when the masses are not behind it.
About the economy, I think his policies will be colored with the classic republican point of view and approach. But I have confidence that the economy will be corrected regardless of the particular presidents (Dem or Republican). They will do whatever it takes to keep it going. I would not give either parties candidate a preference for getting the basic economy going.
But on longer-term issues that affect the economy and all of us.
Which are pressing issues of the day... I do not believe he will do anything much different than the current administration... or for that matter any republican administration. The Republican Party is against SS, Health Care Reform and SS (there are element of the republican party that would like to get rid of SS and Medicare all together)...
