Obama stresses patience as Americans seek 'morning' again
From Bill Schneider
CNN Senior Political Analyst
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Many Americans may be long on enthusiasm for President-elect Barack Obama's history-making election but may be short on something he's asking for: patience regarding the economy.
"The economy's likely to get worse before it gets better. Full recovery will not happen immediately," Obama said Monday.
How much time will voters give the new president to turn things around? With the magnitude of the crisis sinking in, the public may be giving the future president some breathing room.
In the meantime, Obama might be guided by President Reagan's experience in the 1980s.
No sooner did Reagan take office than the economy began to get a lot worse. Unemployment jumped to more than 10 percent, the highest level since the 1930s. It's about 6½ percent now.
By 1982, voters were getting anxious. Republicans lost 26 House seats in the midterm election. President Reagan's response? Stay the course.
A lot of voters stuck with Reagan because he had defined a course. By 1984, their confidence paid off.
I think that Americans are patient despite what you read in the news. I think that we will give him ample time to be able to turn things around. He was thrown a lot onto his lap. I think that he like most any president, has made promises that he thought at the time he could keep.

And I've tried to give us a higher profile. Typically, at a board meeting, we'd pass resolutions about the civil-rights issue of the day, but we'd never tell anyone. So I've instituted a policy of announcing our resolutions at the end of our meetings.

At first, I only laughed at myself. Then I noticed that life itself is amusing. I've been in a generally good mood ever since.

In my opinion FOX is known for being a network that just advertises, and that's pretty much how they get their viewers.
