He's worse than yours truly, and I am an unhappy, cranky, cantankerous old man.

that could be part of it..Change is sometimes hard to take. We all love to remember "the good old days" I am all for change and can see so much that has happened in the past 30 years as positive, but I can think of some things that are happening are not good, progressive yes, good no..

I agree with your point about change & read the same comments about how places like North Carolina are dealing with the big influx of New Yorkers\ formerly Northeast residents moving in. An example is that both Virginia & North Carolina voted for Obama.
