AMEN to that! I think someone jumped the gun on this one. And I have noticed something - it seems most all people who don't live in the U.S. think that he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. All I can say is - "let him prove it". I'll give the man credit if and when credit is due. Nine months in office and he's hardly had time to get his feet wet, and his approval rating is dropping rather fast. The honeymoon is over - now it's time to live up to the expectations of those who put him in office.
