I think that Obama will have a tough time digging us out of the economic mess that we are in right now. It would not surprise me if he turned out to be a one term president because things are sure to get worse before they get better.

Many people think that Obama is too far to the left. I agree that he is very far to the left, but right now I think we need far-left policies to balance out the far-right policies that we have endured for the past 20 years. I say 20 years because even though Clinton was President for 8 of those years, he put many policies in place that supported big business (credit card companies, mortage companies, stripped away bankruptcy laws, etc).

I think that Obama is charismatic enough that people will be swayed a lot by what he says and how he says it and might not notice some of his failures along the way.

Racially, speaking, many people wonder if African Americans are feeling more hopeful because he will be the first African American President. I think that different generations of blacks have different feelings about that, so I will give you several examples from my family.

My mother is in her mid-80's. She likes the idea of him being President, but is afraid that "they" might kill him. When I asked her how it would feel to have a black president, she said "Let's just wait and see what happens." So part of her can't even wrap her brain about it yet.

My attitude (I'm mid 50's) is that African Americans can't expect too much from him because he has to answer to a whole lot of other people. Not only that, he is only one part of the the Three Branches of power (He is the Executive branch, which does hold a lot of power, but he still has to go through Congress and the Supreme Court). Therefore, he is limited in what he can do. (I think that Bush assumed some power that he really didn't have under the guise of war power, but that's another issue). I also think that racism will be as prevalent as it always has been.

My daughters think that having an African American President signals a new awakening in the country. They believe that his election is proof that people don't look at race so much anymore.

My grandkids (the younger ones) don't see why his winning the election is such a big deal. He's cool. He's smart. So what?

Hope that helps. Good luck with your project.
