... we can't stand Obama and hope he dies ...
We (who is '
we'?) and
hope he dies in the same sentence ... sounds like a nascent conspiracy to me.
Perhaps, but a great
what?
I know that you're merely trolling here; do your parents know you're on an adult website?
In terms of high expectations; Obama is walking a well trodden path, I hope he can avoid the
worst of the potholes along the way. It seems to me that investing such hopes in a person may lead to the inevitable 'failures' and setbacks that befall them being judged far more harshly than might otherwise be the case - with potentially every minor misstep being touted as a spectacular fall from grace. We've seen evidence of that mindset already, barely a week out of the gate.
That said, high expectations are no bad thing, surely any nation should
expect nothing else from its leaders. Delivering on those expectations being another, far more elusive measure. IMO, Obama simply hasn't been in office long enough to form more than a superficial impression of his likely long term performance, and that's what really matters, isn't it?
