Obama brings some fresh ideas to the job. Why didn&#39;t someone do this earlier? It should happen every year, IMO.

<b><font color="0000ff">did he learn anything or like yourself claim credit for the idea of getting together for a photo op</font></b> <BR> <BR>The ideal for anyone is not to sing one&#39;s own praises but to let others do it. I have no idea about Obama&#39;s learning skills. There is no doubt about his intelligence, IMO. <BR> <BR>There is plenty of time ahead for Obama to prove himself. Any country benefits when a creative, humane and frugal leader is in charge. Politics is quite predictable and thus suspect. Those who speak favorably for Republicans seldom do so for Democrats and vice versa. <BR><font color="ffffff"><font size="-2">.</font></font>
