notfromconcentrate, I don't think anyone's naive enough anymore to think they know exactly what any politician is going to do once they get into office. Where this candidate stands apart for me is in the realm of accountability. If you want to get an idea of what he HOPES to do, you're in luck, because unlike most candidates he puts real ideas and potential plans out there for public scrutiny, instead of just buzzwords. http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ and check out "Blueprint for Change."
