weyes Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 tomorrow is obama's inauguration, and so many people are wrapped up in the "hope for change" spiel that they're expecting instant miracles; this'll be a setup for disappointment and anger if the economy isn't "fixed," the troops aren't home, and healthcare isn't perfect in 100 days. one must keep in mind, however, a few things:not everything can get done at once. it will take a long time to get everything started, let alone done.the president can't get anything done on his own. there's just as much bureaucracy and red tape as there always has been, and getting "change" passed will take a long time to go through congress, as usual.and yes, even obama will most likely alter and even go back on some campaign promises. despite the apotheosis that's been going on, obama is still a politician (and a human), and will have to compromise on some things in order to get them moving. and almost every elected official in our nation's history has reneged on something s/he's promised during his/her campaign.it's important to remember that any transition is difficult and that a new administration always takes a bit of time to get the hang of things. we're in a deep hole, and anyone would take a long time to dig us out of it. patience, all, and change will come .tune in tomorrow.
