America I really think that we have made the right choice for President

I have been reading articles on President elect Obama and his preterm activities. I like his style. Like other presidents previous to induction it is common for the elect to defer to the sitting President on all matters of politics. Until the previous president leaves just like any other job, you've been hired but it's still not your job. With the press the rabid way that it is these days and the publics thirst for insider knowledge, controversy, and sensationalism, I am certain that there is a certain amount of instigating and trying to get the new president and or his staff to step over the boundaries. At this current transition though the country is facing some of the worst financial challenges to face us in almost 80 years. This is a time when we can either come through this with the loss of a little skin or we can break the neck of the economy and end up crippled financially indefinitely. This would make the urge to offer commentary and platitudes and speeches etc almost irresistable to most Presidents elect, but Obama is playing it ultra cool. While still letting it be known that he is putting all of his players together and getting ready for the job that faces him. This is a really bad time to have been elected President for anyone. This is history in the making and under a microscope. I am not sure that Obama had a clear understanding of what the true demands of the job would be. Most American's have a romanticised view of being the President and most of us have no clue how hard the "leader of the free world" must work to lead us. I think though that the man we have selected for the job is the equal to the demands that will be placed on him. The entire country, even people who didn't want Barak Obama as their President, are holding their breaths and judgements in anticipation. Two weeks before President Obama takes the oath of office and starts running things in earnest, the country is like a gathering of theater buffs awaiting the tap of the orchestra conductors baton and the signal to begin. There is some rustling and chatter as the musicians and players take their seats and the biggest drama in the world is set to begin. What do you think the first year of Barak Obama's Presidency will bring. There will definitely be some changes. It is obvious that some changes need to be made. Should they be sweeping changes, tearing down old institutions and ways of doing things to revamp and design a whole new way? Or should he work at making small adjustments to the existing establishment so as to not upset the already wobbling applecart?
