I'm not an American (and I don't live in the U. S.) so I do not have the right to vote for Obama or McCain. My post may be a little bit naive but I just can't help it. Isn't 6 months too short a time to regret voting for a guy who became president under very difficult / different economic circumstances? I mean we are all in the middle of a recession, the likes a lot of us have never seen in our whole lives, which put Obama (and any other president for that matter) under extreme pressure to perform well? Our previous president was like that, very high expectations, well-loved by the masses, very good speeches, words, etc., etc. but he also came in after a severe Asian crisis - after less than 3 years, we booted him out. Will the same thing happen here (hope not and don't think so)?
