I'm sure Obama has "changed" a few minor things around like the percentage of certain taxes, or maybe something involving abortion, but if you look at the big picture ain't a damn thing going to change, as usual.

As far as foreign policy goes he is working on opening up our stance on cuba. He has said his is willing to talk diplomacy with countries like Iran and leaders like Chavez. He is working towards ending our occupation of Iraq and refocusing our efforts in Afghanistan and he has talked of shutting down Guantanamo Bay as well as directing the CIA to longer use foreign contractors to do our interrogations.
I think those are steps in a different direction from where we were under Bush.
