I hope Obama does good. The biggest burden on him right now is that alot of people are looking up to him to change things immediately. When he fails to accomplish this gargantuan task then people will dub him as 'failed'. In actuality becoming the first African American president is an achievement itself. On a lighter note I wonder how long it will take for Firefox spell checker to acknowledge Obama not as a mistype.
