People just need to give him a chance everyone is saying this and that, he won't even take office til Jan 2oth. give him a chance see what he does before everyone comes down on him, no he will not make 100% of the peole all the time, but who has or will?
Yeah, your guy won and by quite a bit. Given the economic situation, the ghost of Ted Kennedy could have won in that climate. It was a perfect storm situation made for an opposition party candidate to win.

I don't see many people dogging him yet. Most are simply sitting back and watching and hoping that he has enough sense to be pragmatic about his socialist instincts and attempt to remain centrist. Time will tell.

Surprised about some of his choices so far.

Clinton for State. During the campaign, he routinely villified her as unqualified to be president, not experienced enough as a leader, no foreign policy experience, etc. Why now all of a sudden is she qualified enough to be SOS and the leader of the Nat Sec Team? Could it be that Limbaugh is right on this? Keep your enemies close so that you can watch and control them. Why is no one asking him about this turnaround? The media honeymoon is not yet over.

Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security. I do have to laugh at this one. She is Gov of Arizona where 10% of the people in Maricopa County ( Phoenix area) are illegal and the cause of our high crime stats: shootouts between coyotes, kidnapping of Mexican nationals, crime between the Mexican drug cartels warring here and illegal drunk drivers. She has failed miserably at even planning anything to secure the Arizona border with Mexico over the last 6 years. And now she is going to head the agency tasked with protecting our borders? Lord help us all now, she was a horrible choice given what she has done so far. This choice was a blatant political payoff. Napolitano was one of the first ones to break ranks with the Clintons and endorse obama, so she gets a plum job.

But this sort of thing happens at the beginning of every administration, so just gonna sit back and watch and evaluate. We'll know after a year or so if 'change' is happening or just more of the same ole thing.
