sometimes he can come off as a crack pot conspiracy theorist...

his ideas on military budgeting are out of touch... solar is stupid compared to nuclear, yet that's what he wants to do (solar's cost and huge foot print make massive scaling very very difficult)... so that one's dead too.

speculation tax is a very good idea, and obama has something similar i believe (like .1%)

some other stuff like national initiatives just aren't workable - too easy to abuse and too much apathy. the last thing we need is more legislative churn funded by professional lobbyists.

a lot of it just isn't very well thought out i guess. I'd like to be able to go after corporate crime the way china can, instead of letting everyone commit high crimes with money and get away with a hand slap and 20$mill... and a fair tax wouldn't be terrible either.
