I think it's way too early to tell what kind of president Obama will be.
it's interesting though that you can read many of the same criticisms relative to lack of experience if you look at newspaper columns from the early JFK presidency.
Does Obama have what it takes to unite this Country and inspire the leaders of other Countries in order to lead us out of the recession? I don't know. But I do know that this recession is a world problem that requires the leaders of the world actually working together to solve it. Lip service isn't going to cut it this time.
So, for me, the jury is still out on mister Obama. His inexperience certainly works against him, but everyone who find themselves in the same room as him find themselves liking and respecting him.
I think the Europeans will at least give him the benefit of the doubt. It's then up to him to deliver on some of those campaign promises.
