No offense, but I'll be proud when he does something other than deliver a speech. He won, but 47% of the country didn't vote for him and he has a lot, A LOT, of expectations being put on him by people who don't agree on a great many of issues. I am proud of citizens of America for putting aside their bias (except you, California) and selecting the best candidate, but Obama hasn't really done anything but stand up and say "pick me". I voted for him, and I wish him well, but now he actually has to do more than just talk.</blockquote>
Oh, I know what you mean. He has a lot of work to do to meet the expectations of voters both for and against. I just think that he'll do better than what we currently have. Of course, having a Democratic Congress might help, too. And I also know that, just because he says he'll do something for us, doesn't mean it will happen, either immediately or in the future.
Time will tell, but I feel more hopeful than I did when Bush was re-elected four years ago.
