Call Obama's Era 'Generation Change,' Not 'Obamalot'

I hope it is an era that all [actually realistically just about all] Americans can take pride in. I'm not sure where it is going. I did not like the stimulus and the tactics used by the liberals to slam it through too rapidly, but he may be the first President serious about tax reform and entitlements reform since the last time we did these things in the 1980s. They are now perhaps more than ten years overdue. We need him to get us through these difficult times with a positive demeanor and get us to appreciate our history and what we have. The "Era of Responsibility" would be what I would ideally like to see this President's legacy be. I was disappointed by his stimulus campaign performance, but there are future debates and challenges where he can transcend politics so we can confront them, especially on foreign policy and long term fiscal reform.
