Obama Advisers To Public: Temper Expectations
CHICAGO (CBS) ― President-elect Barack Obama and his inner circle fear that some voters expect him to turn around the economy, wind down the war in Iraq and, perhaps, cure cancer -- all by the Fourth of July.
They know they must manage and lower those expectations, CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery reports.
A top economic advisor to Obama had a glum warning for the rest of us Thursday morning: Neither the job market nor the stock market will be turning around any time soon.
"This might be a long haul," said Robert Reich, who was President Bill Clinton's secretary of labor. "2009 is going to be a very hard year. Some economists say we won't be out of this for two years, others are saying it may be three, or four, maybe five years."
Now on Obama's transition team, Reich worries about what happens after the new president is sworn in Jan. 20.
"We all have to be very careful about the expectations that we are putting on this man, our president-elect," Reich said. "If we all assume it's going to be the first 100 days, we're going to be disappointed."
These "advisors" need to quit worrying. Our expectations can't get any lower and we're already dissapointed. :thatsright:

Well, I'm disappointed.
Based upon the promises of the Obamaites and the Obamaite primitives, I was ready for Joy and Peace and Goodwill and free medical care for all starting the morning of November 5.
Thus far, nothing's happened excepting an elementary school in New York's been named for the Big Zero.

Yeah, probably trying to get my "fair share" by getting El Stupido Supremo's second house in Connecticut is going to be more difficult than prying open a clam with a wet paper towel.
But damn, I feel compelled to try anyway.
The Big Zero promised.

And I'm still worrying about paying for my mortgage or putting two tanks of gas a week in my car.
Guess the Obummer ****ed me too.

In other words:
"We lied to you and now that you can't do anything about it, we are gonna let you know the truth. You are a sucker and a half."

His sil;ence says to me Barack "Good grief! I don't have the FAINTEST clue! I'm picking Clinton folk, as it wasn't THAT bad with him, was it? Gosh, I hope things level out BEFORE the 22nd of Jan., when I'll actually be expected to do SOMETHING!"

The scary thing is that once the Obamessiah is installed, that would be considered a hate crime. Though I suppose it would be okay to use them to serve up Arugula salad.
