Oh, yeah, I totally agree -- he's got teeth, and he'll totally use them in the appropriate circumstances. But he won't use them at times that a lot of other politicians would, like in the race against McCain, because he wants to change the way Washington operates. Unfortunately, Washington's not going to change overnight. It's going to be interesting to see if he delegates the tooth-and-claw Washington infighting to his veep, or if he tries to get his whole cabinet to steer completely clear of it.

Nope, and it's one reason I love Obama--he's starting out with baby steps, but you just KNOW he's going to keep on going with everything.

I think he'll have to do some of it, but I bet it'll be a lot less than the status quo.
