I think it goes way further than Obama. I think people needed hope and change and it's exactly what Obama represents in the rest of the planet's eye.
This being said, on his day to day job, I don't think people expect him to change the bad economy, war, unemployement, etc over night.
But now, at least there's hope for Americans and for everyone else living on this Earth. It can make a difference. Never underestimate the power of hope and remember that your reality is very different from the reality of someone living in the Middle East, Afrika or south america.
We (I'm Canadian) don't really know what REAL POVERTY is.
