John McCain, Barack Obama Make Final, Frenzied Push to Close 2008 Election

note:  The title on ABC's US News page says "Obama Lowers Expectations with just hours to go".   :whatever:

Quote
Sen. Barack Obama capped what he called a two-year long "wild ride" by cautioning today that if he becomes president, he won't be able to "get everything done all at once."

*snip*

Despite his warning about over confidence, Obama was willing to discuss his presidency and how many of his campaign promises he'll be able to keep.

"Well, I think that we are not going to get everything done all at once, because of this financial crisis that's going to require a lot of attention, a lot of resources," Obama told ABC News.

"It means that some priorities may get deferred," he said.

Obama said changing the tax code, investing in clean energy, controlling health care costs and improving the education system remain his "core commitments."

"We will have progress on all fronts by the end of my first term," Obama said.

He's already tapdancing around his promises...who saw that coming??  :rotf:

The BIG ZERO, if elected, would get as much accomplished as a president as he did as a senator.  ZERO.  He can't vote "present" so the only way to ensure a re-election is to do nothing to piss anyone off.  It's a safe way to govern....ineffective, but safe.

Yeah, government by poll...or "which way is the wind blowing today?"
Heh, Bubba "drop-drawers" would have to unzip to answer that question.   :whatever:
