Obama Spokesman: President-Elect Will Focus on Strengthening the Economy But Can't Work Miracles

Change (for the better, we hope)

He asked for the job and we gave it to him. Now it's time for him to make good on all his campaign promises -- every singe one. Americans wanted change and he made us believe he could do it. He'd better deliver.

100 Day Theory

Robert Gibbs is simply a politician who is trying to set the stage in the even that there is a disappointing start to the Obama presidency. The 100 day theory holds truer today than in the days of Roosevelt. The reasons that it still holds true include but are not limited to the following:

1. Communication is now taking place nearly at the speed of thought. Decisions can be communicated and therefore enacted much more quickly than in the time of FDR. A clear consistent message by Obama would help immensely.

2. Perception drives change more than ever before. In the time of FDR fundamentals drove the market. Today, perception of the economy and market drives the market more so than does fundamentals.

3. Economists have had the benefit of 7 decades to understand the affects of the New Deal and can model any NEW NEW Deal with computers so as to predict the impact on the world economy.

4. The rate at which change occurs doubles every five years. Given this is not a straight line progression since FDR's time, one can imagine that the rate of change can offset complexity to a degree.

5. Lastly, the American public is ready to accept leadership and change.

My advice Mr. Gibb is to not lower expectations for your candidate, nor inhibit is ability to lead by offering less. The danger in that comes from creating an attitude by President-elect Obama's constituency of "....just another politician who can't keep promises". DARE to hold yourself and your president to a higher standard.

times make a man

Just as the Chinese saying goes"Bad times make a good man", times make Obama the president. American people need change, and they hope and want to believe Obama could be the man Who can bring them change.

a fresh start

IN my point of view,obama will bring somewhat fresh air for us anyway.

Bloated America

America is debt-bloated and very sick.It's banking channels are all plugged up: credit can't flow. In the past it consumed trillions and trillions of borrowed money from the rest of the world to spend foolishly and fight a stupid, expensive war. Now it is bloated with debt and has high debt pressure. It is dia-debtic: Miss America is up-side-down in her house, her SUV, and her furniture. It hurts when she moves. She has swollen feet, eyes and puffy cheeks, financially speaking. borrow and spend is worse than tax and spend

Finally she decided to mend her ways. She goes to Obama. It will take Obama a long, log time to cure a very sick America. May God help him for my own selfish sake. My 401k is down 45%, I am 66 years old. Give him a chance

I have a plan!

So this is the much touted plan we heard so much about during the campaign! Promise as much as you can as often as you can doing whatever it takes to get elected, then deny everything and pray to hell that it all goes away before you take office. Apparently it is Obama's "hope" that that eveything will "change" for the better all by itself. Good job so far Barak!

Backtracking

Wait a minute. I voted for this guy, and now you're telling me he doesn't walk on water. Thanks alot!

What happened to posmises of change?

Typical politician: make promises during the campaign, then before even taking office, explaining excuses why they cannot happen!
