It,s not the government that,s moving us closer to socialism, it,s globilization. Our system has to be a better match for the rest of the world our we will not be able to play the game.

That is some sort of joke, right? This administration is not on some secret agenda, they are so arrogant that they are out in the open. Only fools and lackeys would deny that they are trying to fundamentally change America into the "progressive" vision. Progressive is just another label for Democratic socialism.

Did I miss something? What position is Paulson holding in the Obama administration? Actually, he is at Johns Hopkins now. "the issue is the weakness of Obama. Unemployment" Go to http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99136097 and look at the 2nd chart--monthly change in payrolls. The line goes down, down, down (more jobs lost each month) until ... wait for it ... Obama's inauguration day. The first chart shows the unemployment rate. While it has continued to rise this year, its rate of ascent has slowed significantly, especially starting around May. So let's correct that to read "The issue is the strength of Obama. Unemployment." “Change” is holding over Bush’s cabinet secretaries Paulson and Gates.

It simply doe not work in any way. For every aspect where Bush was ineffective Obama has been more weak. You focus on Glenn Beck, Limbaugh etc but the issue is the weakness of Obama. Unemployment, Afghanistan, Taxes, Budgets, Iranian nuclear progress etc. Perhaps you should watch the SNL skit on Obama of two weeks ago, it clearly laid out the simple fact, Obama has done nothing since he became President.
