But in reality this is still America, there's not gonna be any big revolution or serious change in government. Good legislation will still be blocked, influence from giant corporations and lobbyists will still drown out the little guy's voice, we'll still operate on deficet spending and an inneficient system of loans, the problems we've inherited over the last couple years will still be there for the next couple years(atleast), and if Obama doesn't meet unrealistic expectations and play political games like everyone has to, he'll be voted out of office by conservatives for all the wrong reasons in 2012.
But hey, he's still the better candidate out of the two and that's something. Worse men have done good jobs...
