Hard Choices...already

Hard choices  seem to be everywhere the Obama Administration seems willing to accept a baptism in firestorms created by many previous years of horribly mistaken priorities.  So infrastructure and the bailout frenzy will carry some of the benefits of Obama policy into the economy, the war in Iraq will play itself down on a separate stage, for the next year it will not receive much CHANGE, the economy is the key..and an administration can be tied to failure if it does not appear to grapple with the problem and make some progress.

Energy will be another important area, oil prices will be forced to rise as much as the damaged economies of the West can bear, a potential that progress from the recession will be consumed by rising oil prices, diplomacy is a key ingredient in the need to hold down the habit of gouging the market...difficult since so many national economies depend upon the price and value of oil.

But the stage has been set, the new administration has become a world focus of hope for change...an honest and friendly desire for success, for it is plain now to so many...what a difference leadership can make.
