Obama'd out

Or is it Obama doubt? hmmm...

I'm sitting on my high horse wondering how one man and his administration can possibly achieve all the expectations of the American people. I'm thinking of an analogy...every time that England go to the World Cup...every time they did, there was a furore of hype and people genuinely believed that the team would be victorious...and when they lost they were mortally offended and went into a depressive-like state.

I used to stand back and think - why? Why do people believe so strongly in the hype? Why do they go along with it and don't question it, like sheep? What was so different about this new team that was so inspiring?

Of course there is something different about Obama - he has inspired Black America and gives aspiration to many blacks who now have a new embassador. But let's not get too carried away, he is only one man and unfortunately I suspect that he will disappoint a lot of people.

Over here in Canada the school kids watched the inauguration - similar to the moon landing in 1969. It is a huge step for mankind to have a mixed race president and good luck to him, but I hope the Americans deal well with their high expectations and don't deal with him too harshly over his mistakes.
