NEWS FLASH: Americans hate it when things go as expected!
Just a quick note before I begin, I'd love to see comments on this.
Have you all seen this article on CNN? http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/04/voter.anger/index.html
Is America in a state of belief that change happens over night? Wether or not the bailouts are right, or the stimulus is right, I don't know, but did people REALLY expect everything to be perfect in this transition?
I can't expect for Obama to know about Daschle's tax history, in the same way we can't and shouldn't expect complete bipartisan support for a bill that is questioned by all. But is it really such a surprise to Americans that Obama's changes aren't occurring immediately? Was middle America seriously expecting things to flip around from "Let's hide things!" to "Do you like the new invisible walls?".
As an even bigger example of the challenges Obama's team still has to overcome, here's an article from the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/21/AR2009012104249.html
It seems COMPLETELY ridiculous to me to expect the Obama team to have everything together when they have to pretty much bring the White House to the 21st century on there own. I say cut some slack, it's far too early to judge the administration.
