time tells, right?
maybe Im just being a little bit paranoid, but I feel like Obama's going to be an all-or-nothing president. I mean obviously the majority of the people want him in office, but the question is will he preform to expectations. My prediction is that he will definatly not be some mediocre nobody; he has too much to live up to to just fizz out. I think that some of his issues (iran negotiations) might be a little bit too much for some people, although I think it is time for some change with the way that the US deals with hostile nations.
In english today we talked about how Obama made references to the getteysburg adress and Lincoln's inaugural speech when he got re-elected. He never once said "I", but reffered to the nation as a whole. For a time when there was a civil war going on, there was remarkably little southern-state-bashing. It was very bipartisan and very powerful. Theres no doubt the two of them were both brilliant orators, and I hope that his actions speak as loud as his words. Dont get me wrong, I support obama, but now that its a done deal, but before he starts making policies, its all speculation...time tells, right?

there really isn't any reason that he won't. Democrats possess a majority in both House and Senate. So he really shouldn't have trouble passing legislation though.
However still some senate races are too close to call, if the dems can get the magic number of 60 (there at 57 right now) that means that they can break up filibusters, with a clear majority.
so in summation, (yet again this goes way 2 long) he should be relatively able to keep his promises
