i think i will wait and see..there is nothing for free in this world as you will have a price tag on anything the gov/t provides..
after the Civil War and since then the cost of living has gone over 150%...the price of freedom is not free..we will see a new administration and new faces but one man can only do so much..whoever is president will have to deal with congress and the supreme court.
most of FDR's recovery plans were knocked down by the Supreme Court in his New Deal to save The USA from a cripling depression...WWII is what pulled us out of the depression..puting people to work..women worked as the men went off to war..and the US had to go on a war time economy..we had to RATION almost all good things..gas, sugar, metal..and building supplies..
So far i have not seen any of these economic measures even thought about in the US..Gas is going up to 4$ a gallon and i don't see the average citizen rationing their fuel supply...housing prices are down...it is a BEAR market..not good as with a Bull market prices go up and so does the economy...we are in a recession..good things will happen..but it will take a long time to get things back to prosperity in the USA//

While I agree that it will take time and it is a lot for one person to accomplish, I believe that Obama will be able to unite both our nation and our government as it has not been in a very long time. I also think he is heading in the right direction and would be the best choice for our next president during these trying times. He has what I think is the best solution for many of our nations problems, for example healthcare, education, and the war in Iraq. I hope that he does win the election.

I hope that Obama does win both the nomination and the presidency. I believe that he will both unite our nation and lead it in the direction that it needs to go. I like his plans to accomplish changes in health care, education, forign policy, the war in Iraq, and most everything else. I am not too sure his is the best solution for immigration, but then I am not sure there IS a good solution for that issue. So yes, I believe that he is right for the next president.

Ok let me answer your question this way tariq2008,to answer this type of a good question,you have to know your history a bit,first off all countries in the world are judged by their leader,let me give you some examples,one of the reason why hitler got so far without having to fire one shot was his image of being tough and would do what he said he would ,now when religious based president JIMMY CARTER ,who was another peace on earth ,good will towards mankind type person very much like Obama,became president other rogue countries decided to take shots at America,in this case '' IRAN TAKING AMERICAN HOSTAGES'',and tried as he would he was never able to get them ,in fact jimmy carter was ousted out of office after only one term and the next president was the one able to free the hostages,who was he?think strong ,you got it,RONALD REAGAN!after 911 president bush did the right in that going after the country spreading terrorism afganistan,because it was so important that america showed the terrorists how strong of a response they would give ,but here is where i think obama is weak,he wants to sit down with the enemies of america and chat over coffee now you tell me if obama would be good for the USA!i think if obama becomes president there is a very good chance of another 911 happening!
