Whoever wins can expect a pretty difficult first year or two in power IMO. It will probably be tougher on Obama than it would be on Clinton, because his campaign relies more on hope. And I think when some of those hopes aren't quickly realized, grumbling will continue.
Or the free market economy....if allowed to fluctuate by itself will end up lowering the oil prices(article the other day said it should be expected by the end of the year)....lower the housing prices, and the economy will rebound.

Iraq? Obama isn't going to pull out....but progress IS being made(cease fire was just declared between es and Sunni's)...and if allowed to continue, things will get better.

Of course....the deficit won't go down, health care will still be a problem, social security won't be fixed.....and the debt will continue to rise.

Can't wait.

Oh, and I agree wit h you. A lot of Americans are going to be pissed off if Obama won't be able to 'fix' everything during his first term. Which of course he won't....considering what HAS to be fixed...and what he is suggesting should be done.
