Reminds me somewhat of Jimmy Carter’s “malaise” speech. When I heard it, I wondered which country he meant.
Mr. Obama has a full plate with the difficulties we face right now - without everything he plans to do.
I should think that his stff will try very hard to find some way to lower his supporters’ expectations.
That will not be easy.
I feel that many people who supported him will be disappointed in the next six to eight months. And the media(his own defenders), will hang him up to dry in a cold wind.
From what I have seen, he is already working on lowering expectations. I guess that my free gasoline and house will be delayed. :-)
No. Way.
The media has so much invested in the success of the first black president that they will do backflips to insulate him from any hint of failure. They basically mortgaged their credibility to get him elected; they have nothing else worth saving.
I feel that many people who supported him will be disappointed in the next six to eight months.
