Earlier today Barack Obama became the first African-American president of the United States. Historic not only because of the racial aspect, but because he is expected to save the world.
Ok, well not exactly save the world but he is expected to deliver...everything. Gas money. Health and wellness. Mortgage payments.
The idea that Obama is going to be a mixture of JFK, Abraham Lincolin, FDR, and, depending on who you talk to, Jesus just means that he is going to fail by those standards. He can't do that. No one can.
Unfortunetly, even if he fails to deliver on any of his campaign promises, is unable to do anything that the American people think he's going to do, the economy gets worse, and he fails to change anything he is still going to be lauded. It seems the simple fact that he is in office seems to be enough. It isn't.
If he doesn't make good on any of his campaign promises (with a Democratic Congress) excuses will be made for him. Same if the programs the American people think he will enact falls through. If the economy gets worse the excuse will be that if we didn't have him in office, it would only get worse.
Now that he's in office, we need results. And they need to be demanded.
