Like many Americans, I am worried about our country and our economy. I do have faith in the President Elect but we are in some troubling times. A lot of people are asking and wondering, why are we in this mess? Some have said why but others have not been direct. We are in this because (in my opinion) of the money that has been spent in Iraq (without the raising of taxes and using borrowed money), and the lack of oversight from the current administration. Today, the Dow Jones fell 444 points, and the auto-companies want a bail out of 25 million. I believe that they should get a loan with interest (just like us when we by a car or house) and the interest that is paid should go to the American People. They should also be, Like President-Elect Obama stated, someone in the White House to over look this loan that will be given to them. This is the time for America to shine and we must be that beacon to the world.

I believe that President-elect Obama is the best person to lead us through the current crises (and I supported Hillary for some time!), but I worry about the expectations he is being asked to live up to -- not just the expectations of Americans, but even the expectations of people in Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Africa. No mortal can achieve what the world seems to expect of Barack Obama.
The major danger I see immediately ahead is that of disappointment of those expectations.
I hope that Barack Obama (who seems to be a clear-headed realist) will be able to persuade the nation (and the world) that, in order to cope with the multiple, complex, and massive problems we face, it will be necessary for every one of us to be patient, and for every one of us to sacrifice.

I agree. I feel that the expectations are very high for President-elect obama. The country has to realize that the President cannot do everything alone, he is going to need all our help.
