Yes we Can or Can we??

See, iam just wondering what the American people think is going to happen now that a; seemingly more sane person has taken over the presidency. Stupid question? perhaps, or maybe not, what are you really hoping to see now that Barack Obama is in control of the all mighty west. What is the man in the streets motivation for surporting his president; stop the war, terrorism , sure sure...but what about the people in their normal 9 to 5 jobs; what are they hoping will happen??
