What's the down side of expectations for Obama?

Poll finds great expectations for Obama - CNN.com



What we are seeing today, I'm sure 100% of the American people would agree that change definitely needs to come to the economy.  As President, Barak Obama would be a success if he could accomplish this alone.  Maybe throw in succeeding in the pull out of American Soldiers from Iraq.  I think the American People would be ecstatic and happy to keep him in office for the full eight years.

My concern is, if these problems are bigger than the solutions available, or options at his disposal.  If this financial crash goes to new depths or takes quite a long time to remedy.  Will the American People grow indifferent, or possibly begin to feel let down by our new President? 

The one thing that is unusual about our situation right now, is the hope the American people have for the future of America with Barak Obamb as President.  But what if this hope dies with frustration?  How long can the American people keep their chins up while our financial system crumbles around us?  The American People need jobs to work, income to bring home to their families.  When that is difficult or because of what is available is substandard, how long can they hold out?  Is the Government going to offer free rent, and maybe free food? 

Again, my concern is for our country and its People and I fear that the excitement we all feel today for our new leadership might very well be our frustration at this same leadership for there inability to remedy these problems tomorrow.
