Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, JFK fought segregation and pushed America to the moon. Franklin Rosevelt overcame adversity and led our nation through some tough times.

I think presidents can do alot of good.

In an article: "Obama began his first full day in office with a moment of solitude in the Oval Office."

Stealing the Hope Diamond anyone?

x2, mostly.

While I hope he can hold up to his campaign, no president ever has. My guess is that he will be just another sack of hot air. I still hope I'm wrong though.

Like him or not. I'm hoping everyone wants him to be successful.

As leader of the free world I propose someone fix the egregious spelling errors in the title.

What's with all teh negetivity?

Seconded!

Yeah I'd much rather have a President who's detached from reality and unaware of everything that's wrong with our country.

[QUOTE=RezZ;582807]I hope some of it can get done, but unlike the rest of the country I seriously doubt how much good he is actually going to accomplish other than make my taxes go up.[QUOTE]

Oh boo fucking hoo. The poverty rate in America has risen under Bush because of his stupid tax cuts (and the middle class shrunk! Not hard to figure out where they've gone to.) If his administration has taught us anything (and it's taught us alot about what not to do) it's that giving tax cuts to the rich is a bad idea.

No reason for anything but negativity. Look at the state were in. This century is shaping up to being the most violent yet. Somehow already doing better than the 20th.
