I'm an Obama realist. I think his basic ideology is a better direction for this country than the ideologies of the past 8 years, but I don't expect miracles.

In fact, the only people I hear spouting the "Obama will solve all the problems, he's the Messiah!" nonsense are the bitter right, who have been the poster children for "sore losers" these past few months. If I read one more snarky, sarcastic editorial or message board post I think I'm going to scream.

But I wish Mr. Obama luck; today is about accolades and celebration, but tomorrow the real work begins (and with it, the criticism of every move he makes).
