Expectations

A blog I subscribe to is Peeve Farm. The guy isn't ever going to write the Great American Novel, but has some interesting things to say, and is pretty much on balance......which is saying a lot on the Internet these days. The other day, I read his comment on what happens after January 20th, and it's pretty much what my wife and I have remarked several times:

"Just remember: when Obama is president, everyone will have jobs, the stock market will rise for four straight years, and there won't be any more hurricanes.... Usually a candidate only has to worry about people holding him to account for his own empty campaign promises. This time, the whole world is signing checks no mortal man's presidency can cash."

Great expectations doesn't begin to describe it.
