So what do think he will do?
Put the country into a recession, start a war by pulling money and support away from a guy we promised to help cgain controll in the Mid East, bankrupt the auto industry, triple unenployment, raise taxes.
This has all been done over and over. You can blame who you want for the mess we have now. The elected officers are all guilty of a part. Some more than others.
The US has been screwing the Mid East since before WWII. Americans are tied to all of it. The only hope is to get someone who will think farther than their own 4 year term.
I doubt anyone can smooth things over in the next 10 years, but it looks like a majority of voters were thinking that it was time for some sort of a change. Too bad that they only had a limited few to choose from.
Putting the black man in office trumps your race card so you might as well burn it. Race will soon be a mute point. The soup kitchen is colorblind
