No, Obama will not achieve any of his "changes" in the next four years. I do not have any faith in a person who will turn against his pastor suddenly. Just because he is in the public eye. I also don't feel he has enough experience to implement changes or even know exactly what needs to be changed. Obama is a wonderful public speaker. He has the ability to motivate people with his words but, I don't believe being a motivational speaker will create the changes needed.

If Obama could walk away from his pastor when the pastor could have used his support what does that say about the man. I am shocked he was elected president. Makes me question if the electoral votes were actually voting what the people wanted or what they wanted themselves. I guess that would be another essay.

I am really curious how Obama is going to turn around the economy. Motivational speaking isn't going to do it. I know one of his next moves is adding Howard Dean to the mix. Another motivational speaker and an excited one! The next few years should be exciting if nothing else. I believe one of his secret weapons is going to be his wife (Michelle). I think she is going to be a woman like Hilary Clinton. If that is the case he may create some change.

I am also curious about what he is planning on doing about our soldiers. I know he wants to bring them home but to just pull them out isn't going to accomplish nothing but chaos for everyone involved. His campaign slogan about change is an excellent one but the change he wants will need to be implemented in an effective, safe manner. With the soldiers being pulled out I don't think that is a safe solution to anything.

I don't see how Obama is going to create jobs. What is he going to do open a company and employ all the unemployed? Companies are sending their business oversea's because it is cheaper for them. Those companies are making money. The only way Obama is going to convince them to keep their companies here in the U.S is by making it illegal for them to move out of the country and that really isn't feasible.

Obama has a huge amount of work in front of him to change everything he wants to change. Most of what he wants to change was his way of getting elected. All the elected presidents promise everything while they are campaigning to get votes. Very few actually can implement workable plans while in office. So for these reasons I don't believe Obama will achieve most of his "changes" he promised during the next four years. However, I'm sure if he promises again and runs for president he will have another four years to keep his promises and "change" the country.
