All this overblown celebration is going to come back to haunt the Obama worshippers when he inevitably doesn't live up to the myth that people have made him into.
It's still a giant step for America-kind.
We'll see. It's certainly an historic event. Besides, I think a lot of the feel-good factor is simply relief for what is ending as much as it is excitement about what may yet come. It's nice to see so many people enthusiastic. I think that, yes, hopes are high but most folks I speak with have realistic expectations.
