How to Spend the Honeymoon.

The author reflects on the victory and transition period of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama. He says that the public disgust to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars has helped Obama won the 2008 election as he promised hope during his campaign. He stresses that Obama said he was surrounded by Democratic neoliberals when his victory was a referendum against neoliberalism. He believes that the decision of Obama to reverse his stance on the Afghanistan war will be a disaster to the economy.
