Obama bids to temper runaway expectations

Toss your tax dollars to the banks, toss your "Change We Can Live With" out the window. But I am sure the bots will blame Bush, or Jesus, or gee I dunno Santa for the new Messiah's inability to provide anything but the status Quo!

so obama warns that the country's problems won't be solved overnight, and this is bad how?

yes, he said drastic changes, not overnight changes.

something can change drastically and it can still take a long time.

Anyone thinking Obama is the new Messiah please step forward.

Okay, then. I guess that won't be a problem.

Consider this:

"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term," he said. "But America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there."

Must be a slow news day when this is the sort of thing you're dredging up to support your theory that the sky is falling.

the truth is an "excuse"? how so?

Michael, I didn't ask if anyone here could produce hyperbole from the media or nutcases like Farrakan calling Obama the messiah. I asked if anyone here realistically considers Obama to be the new messiah. Now hold your breath and don't stop until somebody steps up and responds.
