I have hope that Obama will do things differently but I can't drink the proverbial kool-aid. I think many people have placed their hopes and future on Obama's shoulders... and much of their expectations are unrealistic.
What I am hoping for is a pragmatic middle ground. If Obama can reconstruct some of the hollowed out government and military, I will be happy. If he can change the general cynicism of a nation (heck the world) and give people something different from the "you are either with us or you are against us" attitude of the previous administration... I will be happy.
I just worry that Obama will not be able to live up to the massive expectations... I worry that there are some power brokers who are just waiting to spin any perceived fault to render Obama into a Carter (and all that that implies).
