barack obama

i am cautiously pessimistic concerning our new president.  yes, he is making history, but history also tells me i shouldn't expect too much from obama.  as aaron mcgruder put i "just b/c 'our guy' won, doesn't mean that all that stuff we were mad about doesn't still exist.  why, just because 'our guy' won, do we immediately become so critical?"  i think he has a point.  to some extent, it's been shocking how uncritical some people have become in light of obama's victory.  remember, he is a politician.

i am by no means saying that i think obama is a bad person or is going to be a bad president.  i just think that i have to be a realist is this situation.  i hope obama does brings about the much needed change about which he has so passionately spoken.

indeed, i like barack obama, and i really hope that he is everything that everyone else thinks he will be.
