because old institutions get swept away, and more rapidly than anyone would have expected, new sprouts, up, and i think about that year. new people, new ideas, new formulations of old ideas, adapting to, as they must, to the problems of today. >> i also think quite seriously if barack obama has run on this agenda that he has actually implemented, i have very serious doubts that he would have won last fall. he won on fiscal cutting out the waste, and he was excoriating the deficit spending of bush, and he ran on tax cuts, and what he has done so far is the easiest thing is to do in washington, which is to spend and spend and spend, and eventually, the tough part comes when you have to pay for that, either through tax cuts or inflation or some combination of both, so i think the conservatives, this is a very distressing time. he has 65% of an approval rating, and i think that is because there are a number of things that he has done that are as bad as we ever imagined. but for most part, it has not really done anything wrong yet, and he has not done anything really to upset them yet, and
