Hi Everybody,

So Barack Obama went to Washington to meet with President Bush. I read where the President wasn't happy to learn that some of his conversation with Mr. Obama was already leaked to the press. Mr. Obama needs to remember loose lips sink ships. This will be a much different Presidency for obvious and not so obvious reasons. I like the fact that Mr. Obama has hit the ground running. What worries me is, if the American people think Mr. Obama can go to Washington and immediately fix all that ails the country, many citizens will be in for a shock. The President is like the quarterback of a football team-he gets too much credit when the team wins and too much blame when the team loses. The stakes are so much higher with the 1st year of Mr. Obama's presidency-The collapse of many institutions on Wall Street, The Economy, 10 million Americans currently out of work. There is much to be done. The blame goes to both sides of the aisle. But the view must be forward and not in the rear view mirror. Mr. Obama has everything going for him, a majority in the House and in the Senate. The country is watching and waiting. The Democrats have wanted control and now they have it. The game looks easy from the sidelines. Its much different when you are on the field.
