BTW, I don't know why you need to warn anyone about him "MUCH further left" than he has let on. Is there anybody who pays attention who doesn't know that he comes from a very liberal viewpoint? Of course, anyone who pays attention would also know that part of the reason that he has gotten endorsements (or at least respectful praise) from some of the conservatives that he has gotten is that they believe he understands that he can only succeed by governing from the center and has shown in his campaign that he surrounds himself with a good team that will not advise governing from the left.
Just say "No" to the irrational fear.

My statement about roping us off was more of a joke.
I'm sorry you think my fear is irrational, but I take seriously the vulnerability I felt on 9/11 as I sat in my German apartment alone, while soldiers with m-16 paced thought the complex. My 'irrational' fear comes from the belief that completely pulling out of Iraq (as Obama believes is necessary) is a BAD idea that will seriously cripple our ability to be taken seriously by any other foreign power. MY decision is based on MY belief that is the most important issue.
Governing from the center? Give me a break. He has NO history of doing anything that wasn't completely biased towards his own party. You said it yourself, "he surrounds himself with a good team that will not advise" sounds a lot like Bush to me. I do pay attention, must be we're watching different stations.
While I have my fears/concerns/beliefs about an Obama presidency, I REALLY do hope that I'm wrong. I'm sure there are those that consider your fervent support for BO as crazy too.
