While I would prefer Obama over McCain, the truth is that it wont matter who's in charge until Americans pull their heads out of their asses, learn more about the democratic process from people who dont have a stake* in it one way or the other today, and then get up and demand change, not only through voting, but through protesting - loudly, vocally, and at the people making the decisions, rather than the poor bastards on the other side who have no more power than you do to change things.
Very little comes out of Washington any more which is good for ordinary Americans, even in a trickle-down sense. Over and over we're told that giving us relief from the high cost of pretty much everything, or from the relatively low pay for the work we do enriching the one-percenters, will only bankrupt the nation. So we slowly sink ourselves into insolvency while the few grow wealthier, all the while being told that our system is the best system because it's our system and so there can be nothing wrong with it.
*i.e., read the documents of the past themselves rather than some pundit's new book about the documents.

Spot on my good man!
It's pretty hard to have high expectations of people who are of such low character.
