Shrinkwrapped asks which President Obama will show up on January 20:

If Barack Obama wins this election, as all signs seem to suggest, he may well run a generic, liberal Democratic administration. There are some very bright, very fine liberal economists who would probably do a decent job of managing the recovery. He could take a more modest approach to foreign affairs, maintain our military strength, and develop a strategic approach that facilitates the integration of the newly wealthy and powerful countries (BRIC=Brazil, Russia, India, China) into a new globalized international order. He would probably nominate very liberal Judges to the Supreme Court. I would find many reasons to oppose his choices but all of this would be well within the bounds of a typical center-left liberal administration.

Of concern, Barack Obama might actually believe his own hype, and as only a young person with no experience in the real world, believe he can change America and make it better by using the power of the government to increase fairness and equality, while talking to our enemies, spreading the wealth, and saving the planet. If he attempts to rule as a left wing ideologue, he will almost certainly lengthen the current recession and, as per Joe Biden, increase our chances of a major set-back in the war on terror that he does not profess to believe in. If he tries to rule to the left, it will be a long four years, for him and for the rest of us.
