I don't think Obama can do "everything" in one term nor is he claiming so. But I think even at the most cynical level possible, he's going to engage in as much damage control as possible. McCain wants to keep the ship veered full sail in the course that already made us hit three icebergs. His indefinite promise to keep the good wars going till 'victory alone will ensure that the problem is going to get much worse under McCain than it absolutely has to.
    So: "No. But mostly - and he'll try hard." Even with a stacked House and Senate? Does he not hold sway with Dems? Maybe he made a few enemies on the way to the top.

    Or, will you not be satisfied until he's won in 2012 as well? Will it take that long for him to fix America?
