Change doesn't happen over night. It's good to know that the American people realize it's going to take time to fix the problems of the past eight years.

I hope it lasts. Patience is difficult to maintain, especially with our culture of instant gratification.

Ignorant is resorting to calling people names because you can't think of a supporting argument. Mirrors all covered in your glass house?

Obama did not win by a landslide. It was NOT a mandate. A "solid majority" does NOT support Obama nor left-wing political ideas. It is NOT "getting bigger by the month" but the media would like to tell everyone it is. May be time for left-wing radicals to go start another country that wants a socialist government because MANY people here DO NOT. They would like this country to be the Republic its Founding Fathers started.
