Wait, so because the country is in terrible shape before he even takes office, Obama will go down as the worst? How does that work?

Hopes and dreams are not tangible, no. But they're also not easy to come by when the country is in terrible shape. Would you rather he promoted doom and gloom on the people in order to get people motivated again?

I just don't understand the reasoning of some people. Don't get me wrong, I don't predict any glory periods or anything. I am not even sure he'll be able to undo any of this.

BUT... to predict he'll be one of the worst because he can give people hope in their darkest times... to predict he'll be one of the worst because he's trying to fix 8 years of total misery by his predecessor... that just makes no sense whats so ever.

He's had one day on the job and already he's gotten people's hopes up but because he hasn't reversed the economy (in one day), you have already deemed him a failure. I wonder how far you'd go if your boss fired you a day after being hired because all you did was inspire his workers to work harder.
