My history teacher said it best; We're going to expect too much from Obama. If he doesn't do even one of the things he promised, people are going to moan about it. If it was some retarded douche, however, who was elected and he did a few things right, everyone's amazed.
Also couldn't watch the inauguration because it was up to the history teacher whether we could go or not, and mine was, like, the ONLY one who said no. My sister did though (5th grade) and she came home with a nice story about watching Obama's "Ignore Your Nation" Speech.
