It's way too early to start thinking "2nd Term" for Obama.
I know he's been in power for only a few hours but I was expecting a new car in my driveway, a check in my mailbox and a bailout on all of my credit card debt by now in reminiscing of all of those campaign promises....
Seriously though, it's a rare sight indeed when a President actually creates change. Lincoln, Kennedy and Regan come to mind but most of the time "stuff" just happens to happen on their watch that they'll either take the blame for or credit for the glory.
You can sit around blanketed in the warmth and glow of "Obama" all you want, but when the power gets turned off because you've lost your job and can't afford the electricity - your butt will be just as cold as anyone else who didn't drink the kool-aid.
What I hope for.. is that he (and that goes for every person that holds the office) doesn't fuck things up too bad and good things just happen to happen on his watch.
