All those campaign promises are just that, campaign promises. As with ANY politician, and I don’t think much of most politicians, I will be amazed if he delivers half of what he promised. And that saddens me somewhat because people are so emotional over his victory.

In Toronto, people were actually celebrating in the streets and calling into radio stations in tears! Tears! And they weren’t even black or Americans. I just don’t get it. You would have thought it was the 2nd coming of Christ. I have never seen such commotion over a political candidate before.

His victory is great for African-Americans, I won’t deny that, and if he inspires some inner-city youth to achieve greater things then I’m happy. But, in the end he’s just man and he will never walk on water. I have a pretty strong feeling that within a year’s time there will be a lot of disillusioned Americans walking around, wondering where it all went wrong.
