Fifty days of the Obama presidency - Admin_phpbb3_import1 - 03-10-2009

His best trait is boldness, his worst disadvantage is the colossal burden left by the previous administration. One hundred days means nothing when everything needs to be changed. It's the same like learning the Chinese language in 100 days. It's impossible. US people have to be patient.

I am sure America will soon face even tougher times. That's because actions against the crisis had to be taken as far back as at least one year ago. I don't know, I think Americans might disappoint soon in their president, just because they expect too much.
