Second of all, if someone enacts a policy that I disagree with and it turns out to work and actually improve the country, then I'm happy to be wrong. I personally think that the stimulus, for instance, has left us in a big hole, but if Obama's policies turn out to lead to economic recovery and the deficit starts to shrink, then I'll be very happy. I don't really think that'll happen, but if it does, then as far as I'm concerned it's an unambiguously good thing. Then again, my political beliefs lie pretty much right in the ideological center, so my perspective is going to be different on things like this.
