I think Obama will fail because he has no experience, he does not know how to get the economy fixed, & he can't fulfill his promises. Also, he is too young for the job. McCain was good for it, because he is older, so he knows how to deal with this and the Iraq War. He is also closing Guantnamo Bay, which can lead to a terrorist attack. However, not all of the people in there are bad, but they could become a terrorist for being locked up for years. Then, that is another thing to worry about. Obama also did admit that he could not fulfill his promises, which I do not like. He does smoke, too, which could cause cancer. Not that I am racist, but his skin color could bring terrorism or assassinations, which can be very violent.

Another reason why I do not think he will do well is because his plans are not that thought out. During the election, he always talked about what John McCain was doing, and not him. Which is a sign of him not being confident in what he wants to do. He can sometimes be pretentious, and that can get annoying. Since January 20, 2009, a lot more jobs have been lost, when a lot of jobs should have been saved. His approval rating are going down, which does not show a good sign. If you look at some of his early speeches, you will see that he stutters a little bit, and that shows he does not know what he is talking about. I have not seen him do one good thing to help America since he took office, and he promised he could get it all done so fast. People think too much of him, and that leads to him thinking he is the greatest.

If you look at Obama's views, you will see that is very liberal. Being too liberal can is not good for the country, because he might think too high of a person. Or, he might make some decisionswhere he thinks someone is treated unfairly. However, I do think Obama is a good man. He seems like a nice person to talk with. So, do not get me wrong, like I am totally against him. Yes, he does seem like a good person. In conclusion, Obama could succeed or fail as our nation's president.
