The spate of ducomentaries and reports on the current President of the USA must ean he has been in the job for a year; and the tone of the reports isn't complimentary.
There are two reasons for this:
At least some people who welcomed his election took him to be Superman. I've seen lots of picture of him, and on all of them his underpants are on the inside.
Too much creedance in the reports has been given to remarks from people who want him to fail. On one report, his defeated Republican was damning him with faint praise.. 'Obama could be a great president still, if only...' The If only was something like 'if he followed my policies instead'. then there were lines of Palin supporters queueing to say what a disaster he has been.
Had to be come, I suppose, in the name of journalistic impariallity, but those of us who want Barack Obama to succeed should not be putting pressure on him by listening to those voices, or expressing disappointment that he hasn't saved the world already. His programme of action was always going to involve taking on vested interests, and solving the puzzle/mess of Bush Jr's two wars.
If he has overcompromised in the former, and seemed to dither in the latter, then now is the time that the people who elected him, and those of us in the rest of the world who were so pleased to see him elected, to say 'We're right behind you, so you still can.!
