    Vuk, first, by doing this now, you are moving to bypass the democratic principle, while sometimes it may be the correct choise, it's a very dangerous path to walk.

    Second, what will happen to this movement? Obama is slightly more left than Bush, whom did have the power for the last 8 years. Thus if this is enough, then you weren't a fan of Bush's policies.

    Why is this important? Because this is already simply an attack tool on the democrats, while it would need to be onto American politics in general to bring the actual change. And as long Fox News and other Republicans that prefer politics simular to Bush will guide the path nothing will change.

    It could of course become a gale, storming through the politics and leaving change through it's wake. But alas, the conditions aren't right, not enough part of the populace are willing for it now. If Xiahou is right, then it would have it's strongest time by the end of Obama's presidency. A strong determination with the realisation that a big change is needed (for example an election were the main issue is about who will fix the mess) is the time were this movement needs to be strongest.

    Now, it will probably wither and die or possibly end up as a Republican pet dog barking around and somewhere deep in it's mind wondering what went wrong.

    I might be wrong and would actually be pleasantly surpriced if I was, but usually movements lose thier strength pretty fast and I'll doubt it last long enough to have a large inpact on the next senate election let alone the next presidental election.

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
