Morning Bell: Congratulations President-Elect Obama

After a hard-fought campaign nearly two years in the making, last night a candidate was elected president of the United States. That candidate promised to “cut taxes for 95% of workers and their families,” expand the Army by 65,000 and the Marines by 27,000, and enact “a net spending cut” for the federal government. Lower taxes, a strong defense and shrinking the size of government. These are core conservative beliefs. Anyone who claims yesterday’s election was the end of conservatism simply was not paying attention to the campaign.

Let's see just how much of a hassle Obama is going to have. He is going to have a hard time if he screws up on this considering people are going to hold him to his pledges/claims. Certainly shows that Conservatism (NOT the neo-cons) is still alive and well in America. The comparison being 34% Conservative, 44% Moderate and only 22% Liberal. Of course with typical politicians there are already some talking of cutting back on his promises on tax cuts for the middle class.
