This is not a political rant! And, as a registered Independent, I will tell you that I voted for Barack Obama in last year's election. I'll also say that any inkling to consider McCain went out the windowwhen he chose Sarah Palin as his running mate!
Recently, after the President's trip back from China, I was reading about how America felt after Obama's first year in office. Not good, was the general sentiment!
It must be terrible to be the President of the United States! Just one year after the most historic Presidential victory ever, Obama has less than a 50 % approval rating. After a year in office, reality is coldly setting in...as President, you just can't win!!
People from all walks of life will be on their soap boxes, if they are not on them already...claiming how bad Obama is doing, sharing how they knew Obama was a bad choice...yadda, yadda, yadda.
The Presidency is not a single, autonomous ruler! Obama's success (and failure) hinges a great deal on the team he has selected to help "run" the country...NO, president should be judged by their first year in office.
Let's be patient and see how things shape up in 2010...
