First, from Arthur Chrenkoff, via PajamasMedia:
- America will continue to be a terrorist target
- Those who pretended that anti-Americanism was all about Bush will be proven wrong
- Disappointments will start on the day one
- Things will get worse for the Republicans before they get better
- Deification of the Anointed One will only get more sickening
Next, from Gary Kamiya, via Salon:
- We have taken our country back from demagogues, the greedy, the warmongers, incompetants, and reactionaries
- The Reagan Revolution is over
- The nation is rejecting the conservative "each man for himself" morality
- The nation wants to take America back to what it once was
- No one is expecting miracles from Obama

I believe that President-elect Obama is not going to get a honeymoon, or his 100 days started yesterday. Regardless of what Gary says, expectations are pretty high for him right now, on all sides. I attribute the lack of a honeymoon to the extended campaign. Everyone is so tired of the constant talk over the last 3 years that we want action. Action from a man who won't take the oath of office for 3 months! Sorry M.r Obama, but you brought it on yourself.
Whether or not we're expecting miracles, I believe you're right in that we ARE expecting ACTION. The clock started yesterday.
I had to laugh at this article from the Onion: Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job. You have to wonder sometimes why anyone would want to be president.
Haven't read it yet, but I would have to agree. It isn't a job I want. Those are the decisions I hope I never have to make.
