Hi,
Obama ran a campaign on the promise of change. The six rational people (five of whom post on this board) in the world took this to mean that he would try to leave the country in somewhat better shape after his 4 or 8 years in office. The remainder of the world expected peace, prosperity, and good weather the day after the inauguration.
So, now, those looking for change are complaining because he hasn't filled a hole eight years in the digging in less than two years of filling. Those that don't want change are complaining because he is filling it at all. And the apathetic remaining 90% are sitting on their couches, watching WWF and echoing the gripes of their neighbors, with neither they nor their neighbors having the slightest idea of what Obama is doing.
If this country gets any more apathetic or ignorant, we'll end up with a B actor as president. Oh, wait, that's already happened.
