obama's got it easy right now
Bush has left some softballs for him, Gitmo and how to deal with Arab nations. He can look like a good guy no matter what. And he'll likely hit things out of the park, because only a blithering idiot could foul up his opportunities.
Point one, I wager most people care about the economy and really don't feel unsafe and don't believe terror is a legitimate concern. So anything he can do to lessen war costs, improve image on such matters will make him a winner in the press. Bush has made it so easy for him to succeed. Along this lines, I saw briefly one of his appointments, maybe it was to the UN, I didn't pay attention, but he heralded the appointment as the US becoming the "Moral Leader." What the hell is that? Not that I'm against morality, but I'm more in favor of something which can be measured tangibly. World Economic Leader? Check, measurable. World Security Leader? Check measurable. World Religious Leader? Bush, get out of here. This almost sounds like a different version of Bush. WTF. Perhaps he's just using an immeasurable so that he can't be judged.
