Obama Nation

So Obama is the new President come January. I am reading headlines about Obama as "The World President" and "Obama victory sparks cheers around the globe ", "Obama's transcendence is beyond race" and it goes on and on. Obama made history and beat the life out of John McCain but this celebration will be short lived because of the economic problems, the two wars and the expectations that he will have to measure up to. The historic election better spawn a historic presidency or the advantage the Democrats gained in the House and Senate will be replaced during the mid-term elections. I hope Obama does what he promises and works to fix all economic problems and repair our nations reputation with other countries around the world.

But it is politics so it will be self serving and lead to partisan fights that will bog down the process. If Obama can rise above the muck of Washington he will be successful and reward all those who voted for him in 2008.
