Well, you do make a point. Especially european people have high expectations of Obama, but I do think he has a more conservative policy then most people think.

The first two years he will be cleaning up after Bush, which will be an extremely difficult task, as he left the country in shambles. Also, he has to meet expectations , wich he created with his vague campaign about change , which probably will exceed his capability as a leader of a country.

Let's just hope he will look at the issues in the world (especially in the middle-east) from an objective point of view and that he will not use war as an answer to those problems.
