I don't demonize Obama as being the worst person nor most foolish in the world. He is human and has his likes and dislikes attributes and flaws like all of us. He tends to look at things from a different perspective that millions seem to share with him. A glass half full or half empty is a simple analogy if you will. After writing to you I thought there is some greatness in him and that is to be able to pull from his depths an ability to write and deliver eloquent speeches that express the feeling of the times. He as I said is not orchastrating the wave of change but he is certainly riding the crest of the wave.

Obama may certainly become a tragic character. When Lincoln stepped into office there was little to no expectations for him to succeed. Nobody had any real confidence in Lincolns ability. Contrast that to Obama and everybody expects him to be a great leader of men. To be able to bend them to his will to accomplish great things. To right the wrongs of 40 years of American excess. To be an American hero, iconic in nature.

Starting this January 20th Obama is now in command of the levers of power. Will he be able to master the intricate subtleties of command and get people to do his bidding. Will he be able to coerce the unwilling to go along with his plan, to bend them to his will. Will he be able to effectively do the business of governing? Does he have the skill, fortitude and will to do that. With Lincoln we expected little and got a lot, with Obama we expect a lot and will we get little? That is the question that is about to be answered. The tragedy of Obama may very well be that he can not deliver the goods that everyone expects of him because they confuse his role in this era of change. His followers think he is orchestrating this era of change instead of merely riding the crest of the wave. If this is so the tragedy will not only be Obamas but Americas as well
