Did some people have bigger expectations? Well, not really...it's only been less than 5% of his first term
Did some people have lower expectations? Of course. And they criticize the way he steps off a plane. No president had been more scrutinized than Obama, especially before he has even been in office 80 days, but he is handling it like a champ. Bush got into office and immediately went on vacation. No one gave a crap.
It is obviously a new generation.

MMM everyone is critic you know that. We all can be critical it takes less energy to be negative about EVERYTHING in the world than to be positive about baby steps. We could name any leader of a foreign country in here and someone would find a way to say how crappy a leader they are or how they do nothing or how they are not qualified for the job. Its easier to criticize than to give your own ideas on actually FIXING a problem.
Iv possed this question several times and I got a DUH answer everytime. If you know how to run a country better than the guy already doing so then put up or shut up. The fact remains we can all sit here and criticize all we want but none of us have the stones to step into a leaders shoes including Obama. If people think they know best then give options of how to solve some of the worlds problems instead of being a naysayer consistently.
Its how things work around here you know better than most.
