Notwithstanding weelittledrummer's post (*g*), I don't envy either administration taking over the reins.

(Obviously I am of the opinion that McCain/Palin/Lieberman/Ridge would continue our precipitous slide into chaos so it is really Obama/Biden that I have in mind.)

The many-faceted and many-pronged problems that the new president will face are daunting, with no quick or easy or obvious solutions.

If things get as bad as it appears they could, the people of the USA for the next several years will be an impatient, angry, frustrated, finger-pointing populace. They/we will want the president to fix things and it may not be possible to fix things for some time to come.
