Watched Obama's speech tonight. Hopefully he sticks to what he's talked about. He's shown previously he can inspire and sway people. What this really comes down to is whether or not he will hold congress to his demands.
One thing about Bush, he always got his plans through congress with relative ease. That said, Bush's ideas generally contributed to the global downfall of society. If Obama will just take his good ideas and apply the Bush Administration's balls, everything will turn out fine.
Sure, people don't trust anyone in government these days, but his job is not to calm us down by taking the easy, dangerously wrong approach. His job is to do what he believes is best for the country. In 2012, if the American people decide he's not doing that well enough, we can vote for someone else.
Something to keep in mind, wouldn't 8 years of a terrible President who lied us into wars and economic crisis be a large part of the country's collective growing distrust of our government? Now is the time for Obama to prove to us that he can regain our trust, and he can act on the hope he harvested so well last year.
It's a big job. I hope he can pull it off.
