    Well Obama can't make a worse mess than we are already in, He has a lot of damage control to fix ,I have the highest respect for him, and yes I do believe that he will make a huge change and turn our Country around , I know that he will not be able to have overnight success or even in the first six months I do wish him the best and I believe that America made the right choice

    The last 8 years have left me nervous for this countrys future. I only hope that Obama will be an exception to the rule in politics. If he is true to his word it will be a reason for all of us to be hopefull!

    I have great faith in President Elect Obama, I feel he will do great things. It will not be overnight nor will it be in the first year.

    I feel sorry for ppl when the only hope for them is OBama. AND it seems that He is what ppl are looking to their only hope. He is a man not God and he will dissapoint just like the rest. I didn't vote for him but I am praying for him just like we should for our leaders....... But what is going to happen when he dissapoints you?

    I am optimistic about our new president because i am all for change; especially if its for the American people. And right now we definitely need a change.

    He has such a tough job ahead to clean up this 'mess'. I'm not sure he can do it in four years. I'll give him the support and optomism that he needs. I'm confident he will listen to us common folk and not be insulated from everyday life. And I believe that Michele will yank him up short if he goes too far out of line. She seems like a strong partner and oh so honest in her observations.

    I am very hopeful.. We have a new life in the White House, and he is someone who has been where so many of us have been with no money... He understands the struggles we go through... I do see people thinking of him as a failure, or that he isnt doing anything he promised only because it is going to take a long time to clean up the mess that has been left for him from the last eight years.. He cant change everything overnight, and Im afraid people wont give him time to achieve the goals he has set....
