He’s our President, not yours

Just after we came off air on Monday I got this email from Howie in Florida. See what you think.

On Air: Are we expecting too much from Barack Obama?

Listening to the radio over the weekend, I heard people in England breaking down in tears (good tears!) when asked to talk about what they hoped from an Obama Presidency. So, are many of us – not just Americans – expecting too much?

Ros is in Washington to present the show. He’ll be on the corner of Madison and 7th on The Mall opposite MSNBC, just by National Archive, and right behind the bleacher where all the tv correspondents are. Do go down if you fancy joining him. From 12-2EST.

Is change really going to come?

Plenty of people here in Washington are wearing t-shirts that read ‘change has come’ and clearly on several levels that’s indisputable. But there are already signs that no everyone’s going to get the change they’re looking for.

Washington – the town where the sirens never sleep

I was standing by a couple in the crowd at today’s concert at the National Mall in Washington. The woman turned to the guy and said, ‘this is awesome’. To which he replied, ‘yeah it’s awesome’. Concert photos here.

Maybe not their most eloquent moment, but I could relate to them being short on words.
