I found this article by George Friedman of Stratfor.com interesting, as it asserts that so far Obama hasn't strayed much from the path laid out for him by....President George Bush.
Friedman did not mention the $3.6 trillion budget proposed by Obama and the staggering deficits projected over the next decade. He also didn't suggest that O's plans for universal healthcare, cap-and-trade and takeover of the financial and auto industries are radical departures from even the free-spending G.W. Bush. Finally, Friedman fails to mention the mindset that Obama brings to his office that America is arrogant, hegemonic and a large part of the world's problem, as starkly illustrated in his decision to release the "torture" memos over the objection of his own CIA director and national security advisors.
Nevertheless, Friedman makes points that even some of us who oppose Obama might consider meritorious..
