And, to put the tin foil hat on, how much power will Obama consolidate to the Federal Government at that point in time?

That part I don’t know, I’m an economist not a political scientist.

But take a look at the message sent so far by Obama.

1. Apologize to the world and be warming up to desposts like Castro and Chavez.

2. Authorize force against the pirates (which I give hive kudos for), but say that strong interrogation of terrorists is torture and prosecutable.

3. Release top secret information against the advice of staff and be open to prosecuting past policy makers fordoing their best to keep this country safe.

4. Sign papers to close GITMO.

Best case, it’s contradictory and windsocking, worst case it’s destrucutuve to our national security.
