Four days left before Dubya finally leaves office. And there are huge expectations for Barack Obama. Frankly, I think a lot of people are expecting way too much too fast of him and him alone especially in the middle of a recession. After all, didn’t Obama say, “Yes, we can”? That’s “we,” not “me” – something American political discourse simply isn’t used to; that’s “socialism,” after all.
On the other hand, Obama doesn’t exactly have 100 days to put his best foot forward, it will be more like 50 or less. Clinton’s early stumbles may have been later overcome but it cost him a majority in Congress. Obama can’t afford that, not at a time like this.
