Lets wait and see. Eight years ago this country was in much better shape before Bush took office. Lets wait till BO's first term is over and ask ourselves are we better or worst off then before. Change takes time, and it is hard work. We cannot all agree on what is best for the US nor can the people in charge. I don't have a degree in economics, law, science, government so I have to vote for those that do and hope that they do more good then harm. After all many of these people we voted into office with our good sense and intelligence, so who is really to blame if things go bad?
