Is America expecting too much from President Elect Obama? After all he is only human and he is only the President, which is only the executive branch of our Federal Government, there are 2 other branches of government that keep everything in check, and another branch of government it seems also; the media. A president has to deal with many things.
Right now President Obama has not even taken office yet and already the Stock Market seems to be voting against this new President as the market crashed 900 points in 2-days after his election, signaling the honeymoon is over, actually it did not even last 24-hours. Additionally, President Elect Obama hired a man to be his chief of staff and some folks did not approve and they are already attacking him in the media for it.

Apparently, his choice for chief of staff is someone who has been known to send dead fish by mail to political opponents, something that is an intimidation tactic, but using the US Mail means it is a borderline felony. Obama cannot seem to get the media to give him any breaks since his election victory. Sure, some of the media is running a story on the "first dog" choices as his kids pick out a puppy, but that is as far as that goes.
Nancy Pelosi stated in the newspaper: "This president goes into office with more expectations than any president I can ever remember in my lifetime." True enough, but at the same time she seems to be spending Obama's political capital by unilaterally meeting with Detroit and the UAW to cut a deal for a bailout package with taxpayer's monies. Although she claims to have everyone else's blessing in her party.

By the time President Obama is inaugurated the Democrats will have added another trillion dollars to the national debt. Thus, there will not be any more money left for an Obama Administration to do all the things he promised everyone during the election. Are we putting too much expectation on this young President and setting him up for failure? Do the Democrats just want to make sure they can control him once in office? If so, is this really change we can believe in?
