Barack Obama will not achieve any of "his" "changes" in the next four years because the average American probably doesn't recall any specifics he promised while using his slippery rhetoric. Positive changes can only be brought about and credited to the cumulative efforts of honest, hard-working people in our country. Obama was simply at the right place-right time and got elected by a bored America that needed to "shake things up." He is just the idealistic icon that is supposed to signal the world that America is "cool" enough to have a non-Caucasian President. That's all. Forget about the alleged promises. Not gonna happen.
A Black Howdy Dowdy, who had his tuition paid for by a Middle-eastern millionaire so he could "talk" the part-could've won this election. The media, the liberals who still are in denial over Clinton's impeachment (people: he WAS impeached!), were ready for the "ambiance" of change. It didn't matter who the individual was-as long there was sensationalism and he played "the part" correctly. Obama's name is icing on this fraudulent cake. The name Barack Obama for our President is really hip to the peoplewho voted for him-and that trumped the man who did more for our country than five presidents I can name ever did.

We have a Black President! How cool are we? This is the mentality that voted for a man whose college records are "sealed" with the threat of a lawsuit; a man who has no more experience than the man-in-the-moon to be Commander-in-Chief and a man who couldn't even negotiate political affairs in private, with his minister of 20 years-let alone try to discuss international affairs with global leaders!
So no, negatory, negative, a big resounding nuh-uh for Obama to achieve anything at all except be the oooh-ahhh figurehead of the now "groovy" America. As soon as the "rush" dies down, the public will realize that the emperor is naked again, and that the novelty of a Black President could still have been had four years down the road. That could've happened when the likes of
