Isn't it great that the world (at least the industrialized nations) are responding so favorably to the Obamas?

It is. I await his 100 day speech with anticipation.

Very refreshing. Seeing a US president that various nations are willing to throw their support behind is an incredible breath of fresh air after Bush Jr.

He still worries me.

yeah? why so?

@oratio Inexperience and Nancy Pelosi. I like Obama. I voted for him. I’m still on the fence.

I’m very happy with how the rest of the world is responding to the Obamas, but I’m not so happy with how many Americans are responding, sadly.

Yeah, but if any leader can bring people together, I would put my chips on Obama.

@Russell_D_SpacePoet I’m worried too.

I’m worried about any politician that has reached the position to run for president…

Ha ha, that is a good point. Probably the people most fit to be president are the ones who doesn’t want to.

@boots Exactly. Any politician. To be president you have to make too many deals to get elected. When you do, then everyone who helped you get elected want their agenda pushed in front of everything else.

@oratio Excellent observation. My sentiments exactly.

So far, so great :)

@jo_with_no_space A trillion dollar deficit doesn’t feel so great. Time will tell.

The deficit is hardly Obama’s fault, though. Sitting back and ignoring the recession isn’t going to keep things moving and save the country from complete failure.

@amanderveen It is almost impossible to spend your way out of debt too. I never insinuated anything be ignored.

@oratio
That’s what Plato said.
