I believe Obama sparks a lot of good will throughout the world. The problem is whether it will last. Now that he is "enthroned", he needs to do what he said, and the world in large will be grateful for his actions. The repukes are trying hard to de-rail his agenda. My belief is this actually hurts their chances in future elections, which in my opinion is actually a good thing. Obama will get his agenda passed with or without the repuke minority. In my opinion, he has already made way too many concessions trying to be bi-partisan when the repukes only want to block all his efforts to make much needed changes. I say, F*ck them and full steam ahead. Let them stew in their defeatism.
