I think Obama could very well be the best president ever

[Rocknrule]

Sure, he might not seem like it from the start, having to clean up W's mess and all. But if he acts on all of his potential, he could very well be the best. If our best-ever president is black, it should utterly destroy (mostly) racial prejudice in this country forever.

1. I hope he follows FDR and JFK's example

The 2 greatest presidents of the last century were FDR and JFK- I hope Obama will implement similar policies in creating jobs, and creating the opportunities for Americans to participate in making this a better country.

3. I think you could well be right.

If he runs the Presidency the way he ran his campaign...

Well...

He's very smart, very driven, and really I believe that he wants the best for our country...

Even the way he cleans up the mess will be telling.

5. at least you've calibrated your expectations for reality

NOT! LOL. Let's give him a chance to get through a first year before we start declaring him the "Michael Jordan" of presidents.
