I always doubt the promises from campaigns and what presidents say in truth American politics cannot make the wishes of 1 man come true it's hard to move alot of people to approve for legalisations etc. Hopefully he can just do something positive in which we can see progress.

Hype hype hype! lol seriously when he does something tangible or at least does something! ill give a crap until then idk. Personally when you see US politics watch how the lime light starts to fade in given 2 3 months no one will see crap about Obama in mainstream media unless something serious happen like further failure of the econ or something blows up. | ||

All that build up, I'm sure he was nervous as hell. That's really the only big goof up I can recall since I've started paying attention to his speeches. | ||

Despite my earlier post on this, I actually agree with you. Until I see evidence showing that he isn't doing a particularly good job as president, I'm willing to write it off as a one-time caught-up-in-the-moment flub, as opposed to an indicator of his future performance in office. | ||

First, Obama jumped in before he was supposed to speak. Then, Roberts messed up the oath. I'm sure Obama had the oath completely memorized so he was faked out. Roberts subsequently corrected himself and they moved on. Yeah... kinda a slip up :p | ||

damn.. gonna take me a few weeks to get used to the idea of president obama this is the beginning of as much as an 8 year era. the bush era is over. ever since i started following politics bush was president, it's gonna take a while for this to really sink in for me. | ||
