Obama had an almost impossible task ahead of him when he entered office just about a year ago. But people were hopeful. 365 days later and we're already losing faith. In a time when everything is practically instant I think we've lost perspective on some things. Economies don't turn around in a year. A health care system that has been needing a revamp for decades can't be fixed in a matter of months. But most importantly, we forget that the President is one person. He is one person in a government made up of hundreds of others. It seems unfair that we should put so much on a single human being. Because that's what Obama is, a human being. I'm sorry to burst anyone's bubble who thought he was some super man with special powers. The amount of time it took us to go down these slopes is nothing compared to how long it could take for us to get back up. Imagine, if you please, someone skiing. It takes a matter of minutes to get down the slope right? Well this resort has no ski lift, we have to hike our way back up. So people should just be more patient, Obama is hiking up one steep mountain.
