People seemed to have voted for change but I talk to very few who can actually tell me what the change is. That's troubling to me.

Quite often, when people get a new job, how they think they will perform once in the job, and what they will do while in the job are two wildly different things. In short, the job usually makes the person, not the other way around!
Pres-elect Obama got his first on-the-job lesson today with his first REAL intelligence briefing. That's usually enough to make a person seek a double Scotch or two when they find the real world makes the TV show "24" look like Romper Room in comparison. There will be many more such lessons in the next few weeks, and then he gets the keys to the car. He will then learn like every President before him that the car drives the driver more than the other way around.
So, if he doesn't get too arrogant, or try to pay off his close supporters with more than Plum Book patronage, all is well. However, if he starts believing his own press clippings and thinks of himself as a monarch rather than a public servant, it's going to be an "interesting" time....
