Obama.

Why is everyone so impressed with Obama? The reason he won is he used his race to gain support. A White man can't campaign to be president on the grounds that he is White, but Obama's skin color definitely played a major role in his getting elected. He was a better option than McCain, but why is it that so many people support him to the extent they do?

Obama has not closed down Guantanamo, although admittedly he has set a time-line for it. He hasn't ended the war in Iraq immediately as he said he would. I get that these are both hard things to do, but he acted like he could get them done promptly.

My point is that he hasn't lived up to the expectations he set and yet people still hero-worship him. I think he's doing a good job, but where is the "superhero" he claimed he'd be?
