I just find it both interesting and disturbing that the Obama campaign is already having to work hard to manage the expectations of his followers and devotees.

From where I sit I see it as the natural – but dangerous – negative consequence of Obama’s campaign strategy. He has sold himself as a savior and his followers are filled with the hope of change. I doubt that most of them will easily tolerate reductions or deferments in what they perceive as Obama’s promises.

No matter who gets the office, change and recovery is going to take times. Anyone who thinks that it’ll happen overnight are gullible.

Came here from that Anti-Halloween post, where you beat me to what I was going to say. Nicely said, by the way. Commented and then saved it on my own blog. I have yet to see it appear under the original post. A Reverend left a comment concurring with both of us and thought you might be interested in taking a look.

Cheers.

He will merely say something like, “Well what I really meant was in my first term we will have to take things very slowly. Slow Change. Now in my next term that’s when we can really get things moving!”
