The Boston Globe ran an interesting piece today comparing Obama's inauguration to that of LBJ.
While the whole, pessimist, look-on-the-bad-side attitude typical of liberals is so 2008, this piece has me wondering whether Obama's inauguration will be the pinnacle of civic enthusiasm before a long decline into a state of public disappointment. I hope that Obama's presidency doesn't go the way of LBJ. I think Obama has done a decent job of trying to manage the public's expectations since he won the election, but there's no doubt that there will be bloc of Obama voters who feel let down by what he's actually able to accomplish.
