BO doesn’t really have to live up to the messiah standard that some people are expecting of him, if he’s simply not criminally incompetant he’ll be much better than the last 8 years. If he holds true on some really easy and basic promises, to make government accountable and transparent, and if he adopts routinely sound economic policy, he’ll be one of the best presidents in the last 50 years.
With all the messes he has to clean up in this country, he doesn’t have to do everything in order for him to still be a massive improvement.
And only those with their head buried in the sand would refuse to admit that he’s already given a huge portion of the population, something to be tremendously proud of and hopeful about. Its been a long time since a new president gave us anything like that.
