I watched it. It was excellent, and I almost think I'm dreaming sometimes when I realize we have an intelligent president again.Barack and Michelle are a great couple. I can't wait to see them and the girls in the White House.

i was less impressed with his brains (which seem fine to me) and more impressed with his demeanor and preternatural calmness.
he's an adult.

But it's shallow to focus on that, right?

Well, in all seriousness, I think it's his intelligence, his compassion and empathy, and his demeanor that help to make him attractive.

I'm most supportive of his plan to initiate a playoff system in college football, quite frankly.

I'm impressed with the promises he's recently made (or maybe I just happened to hear of them recently...) regarding Guantanamo Bay. As someone from outside of the US I think this will do so much for the perception of America, morally 
Go Obama!

I agree
Also his devotion to his family. The day after he was elected he went to his parent/teacher conference. You can't get much better than that.

I noticed that too. Their schedule had been absolutely grueling for months (and honestly, props to McCain for being able to do it at his age, it couldn't have been easy for him), and I'd see Obama in clips from the campaign trail on tv. Sometimes he'd look like he was dragging a little, but if Michelle and the girls were with him, it seemed to totally energize him, his whole body language changed. It was nice to see.

The difference in the way Obama looks now from what he looked like two years ago is quite shocking, in my opinion.

personally, since I have no choice I`m ok with Obama as long as he doesn`t screw us over. If he is what he says he is,the world will be erased of all it`s problems and it will all be part of a history book by `12.

Well this could be said about any president...
Yeah, I remember when he said that...

Yeah, and I'm sure it'll get worse, he's in for a rough few years.
That's very unrealistic. He's said as much, many times. He won't be able to magically fix all the crap that's been left for him in the next 4 years. If that's your measure of his success, you'll be sorely disappointed.

Unfortunately, the world will never be rid of all its problems, no matter how good a president Obama, or anyone else, is.

My point exactly.
But still who knows what could happen,it might really work out
when someone says they are gonna do something (presidents) They better do it...

How is that your point exactly? No one has ever alluded to these magical powers except you.
Do you really expect this means of debate to be taken seriously?
You make up something about someone and then say, see I told you he couldn't do that...

I`m not saying anyone can fix all the fucked up stuff in the world,I`m just saying,like the economy,he could pretty well fix that and it be a thing of the past.

You must watch this thread like a hawk...
Are you saying he can`t do it or
do you think he could?
He has the power?
well anyway I hope he makes a awsome president

I think Obama is capable, yes...
But my point is that Obama nor his supporters ever made such craptastic fairy tales that Obama would erase all the wrong in the world, which is what you were trying to allude. Republicans are going to have to do a lot better than building these types of weak arguments.

I don't think Obama is going to change anything big soon, when it comes to the economy and foreign policy it'll come down to damage control en steps in the right direction.
In all fairness, I do think there's a lot of hype surrounding the Obama presidency even though I have no doubt he will make a fine president. It's all good, as long as everybody stays realistic in their expectations.

Whoever thinks the current economic crisis can be easily dealt with by one person is quite an optimist. Nevertheless, at least compared to Bush and his current government I have a lot more trust in Obama, especially on a multilateral level.
