As was stated with the example of Bush after 9/11 Obama has said all the right things and is acting in all the right ways. The question is will he be able to follow through and will he make good decisions when he actually gets in the white house.
After 9/11 Bush said and did everything correctly. We had the world at our backs and they supported us when we went into Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban and look for Bin Ladin. Then Bush allowed himself to get distracted with Iraq and started making very bad choices. It didn't take too long for him to squander all that good will he had.
Obama right now is the darling of the world. Many countries around the globe rejoiced at his election to the office. They are now waiting for him, but many are waiting for him like he is going to walk on water and start multiplying fish and bread. He is putting a good team together and he has some good ideas, now he has to follow through. I have faith in him that he will lead us down a good path, but as with any unknown quantity I am a little nervous. He wanted the job. We gave it to him. Now the ball is in his court. I just fear people have such high expectations that if he doesn't pull of a miracle right away they will start to turn on him.
