Obama has already reneged on just about every promise he made on the campaign trail. Hmmm... another Politician merely telling us what we want to hear?

Change?? Seems like the only way to get a job in DC these days is to either be an ex-clinton staffer, or a tax cheat! Biden (2nd longest sitting member of the Senate) is change? Hillary (with no transparency of Foreign contributions to Bill's 'Foundation - just watch... this will be Obama's 'Haliburton') is change? Richardson is change? (ooops, I forgot, Richardson is under indictment...Obama's 1st scandal?) Panetta is change? Timothy Geithner, nominated as Sec. of Treasury (overall executive in charge of, amongst other things, the IRS, cheated on $34k in taxes) is change?

Prison at Gitmo decision delayed. War to continue, except this time in Afganistan (think Iraq is a 100 yr. war? Just ask any Soviet about Afganistan). Middle class tax cut - delayed. Bush Tax cuts (tax breaks for the Rich) - not repealed as promised, but instead will be allowed to expire in 2010...maybe. Chu (sec. of energy nominee) calling nuclear power 'evil', and on and on.

Admittedly, the country as a whole is despondent after 8 yrs. of GWB, justified or not (perspective), and the country was prepared to elect a blind, deaf, one-legged dog named 'Lucky' rather than any GOP candidate. But, the fact is that Obama is untested and insulated from criticism by the 'Race' cloak he wears. People are more enamored by the thought of Obama than actual fact... the realities bear this out.

Well, he has a lot to live up to, and a lot of problems to solve. Whatever your thoughts, he's the guy now and we all have to hope that he is up to the job - our futures depend on it!

Use your brain and the facts - not the soundbites and commentaries from network talking heads.

If he's up to the job, it will become apparent soon enough. If not, don't allow a herd mentality or racial guilt to blind you of that fact! Currently, you may support him or oppose him. But, only time will prove you right... or wrong.

If Obama wants a 2nd term (and what President doesn't), make him earn it, don't simply give him a pass because 'at least he's not GWB', that arguement now belongs to history.
