    I don't agree with the way Graz65 expressed it, but I certainly agree with his sentiments. Obama's not the Messiah and we definitely need to see what he actually accomplishes before declaring him a great, or even good president. It's certainly your right to dislike him. However, to hope he falls on his face is pretty harsh - not because of the consequences to Obama, but because his failures will likely have terrible consequences for this country and the American people.
