no newly elected president has ever walked into a bigger mess than Obama, politics was not this brutal in similar bad times in history, the public still had respect for politicians no matter how bad things were.
i was hopeful for Obama, he's been a major disappointment, his campaign built on an image he carried through the primaries and the presidential campaign and it was all that, image. what surprises me is how uninspiring he's been.
the only good thing and I think it worth the victory because I don't think we'd be in any different position right now had McCain won, is that there is a black family in the White House. A country thought to be very racist elected a black president. And only Obama could have pulled it off.
laughable that he's being called a socialist by the right, the country has been headed toward it for decades now under both Democratic and Republican rule. they offer no alternative, only rhetoric - put any of them in the White House and they would be as big a disappointment to their flock as Obama has been to his.
