It'd be nice if the economy would stabalize, but honestly I don't think Obama has much power over that.

I'm encouraged by Obmam charisma, and hope he uses it to inspire us to great things, that's where the real power of the presidency is. I have to say, his election has made me more proud to be an American in that we can go through this process and hopefully reinvent ourselves in the world.

So what you are saying is we should not ask what Obama can do for us but rather what we can do for Obama?
