Skeptics versus Believers

After the hype and excitement of Obama's victory November 4 has died down, people are beginning to look more closely at what Obama will bring to the future. President-elect Obama was voted in on the basis of his groundbreaking campaign. He used the ideals of hope and change to promise Americans of the country that they want to see. But now that he is officially in there, even Obama supporters and fellow Democrats are becoming skeptical that he can deliver on all his promises and the hope he gave to the American people. Meanwhile, the believers are getting hyped up for January 20, and that's when the skeptics will find out if the promises were empty or not as well.

Here's a few links I've been tracking of both the "believers" and the "skeptics":

The Oregonian
