The truth is that I never really expected him to deliver. I'm way to cynical to think that any one president is going to fix anything. I spent too many years in DC watching politicals come and go -- they come in with an agenda and it is often not the one that the Administration ran on. Politicans say what they believe they need to say to get elected. They have no real clue what would be required to actually accomplish anything.

My biggest hope for Obama was that he would restore a sense of optimism and hope for our country, much like Reagan did after the Carter fiasco. I also hoped that he would get us out of Iraq and on track to fight the real war. I never thought he would fix the economy. I honestly don't think anyone can do that. We will have to endure this trough we are in -- and it will either get better or it won't. Things were artificially high for too long.
It didn't surprise me when the real estate market fell apart. It doesn't surprise me that people are hurting financially. Too many people were over extended and had taken on too much debt, because they had no self control or discipline.

This country is undergoing a major shift, and it's much more complex than just the economy. I hope we survive it and go on to be the great country we've always been. But I don't think it is assured.
