Simply 'seeming' to be better than Bush doesn't cut it.

Nor does giving the people 'hope'....for what I don't know, considering nothing has changed.....work either.

Obama is in the Whitehouse to provide results.

People won't care if he's too cautious, or too pragmatic, or if the mess Bush left was really big(which I don't get, considering Obama has done NOTHING to fix ANY of the flaws that allowed all of this to happen in the first place).....nor do they care if Congress is full of a bunch of incompetent fools.....they want results. And if Obama doesn't provide results, he is going to be vilified by more and more people.

Thats just the way that American politics works. Bush started off relatively slow.....but soared after 9/11. Most Presidents probably would have, even they hadn't responded the same way Bush did. When it became apparent that Iraq was a major crapshow, his ratings fell like crazy.

Because he wasn't providing results, and the American people were sick and tired of their sons and daughters dying for something that wasn't providing results.

Sure, Obama has a tough job.....and while I can give him 100 days, or 200 days, or a full year.....I can't excuse his wasting of trillions of dollars.

Or any of the other mistakes he has made.

And apparently, neither can the media.
