What does Drakej mean, "what if he fails?".
What if he doesn't come through on the promises that he has made, and will make later on (because he will make more)?

That's my greatest concern with Obama, is that he'll choke in Office (I know that I as hell would). What if that happens? I think that I'll be disappointed, I hate him as some promise breaker unless there is evidence that he had no intention of fullfilling those promises or that he never tried. I won't blindly defend him, but I also won't stand aside while others blindly attack him (as many do with every president).
