Barack Hussein Obama, 44th President of these United States of America, has held the office of the President of the United States legally for 15 hours and... 38 minutes, and he still hasn't changed a damn thing.
WHERE IS THIS CHANGE I WAS SO PROMISED?! I FEEL BETRAYED!! XD
In other words, how long before he gets lambasted? Or will he at all?

We're still jamming up the front page with redundant spammy US presidential threads, that hasn't changed I guess...
I'm wearing different clothes since the oath of office, that has changed. There, see, something has changed.

I'm sorry that I made one thread about the new president in jest. I guess I'm not allowed to make any sort of non-serious thread about nothing and then tag on a serious question at the end of it.
My mistake.

You are now on my Jigsaw list. It's like a enemy list, but much cooler.

I called Obama, he said he will get to it when he wakes up in the morning and he advises you to go to sleep like a normal human being.

In all seriousness, to save the quantum particles of debate there is left, how soon before he's seriously criticized? And I don't mean "OMG Faux News is posting about so-and-so appointee or his decision on this and that and it helps teh liboorals and terrorists win!!!" but an honest, critical attack on his policies.
Honestly, it somewhat intrigues me. Here we have a situation where almost literally ANY president succeeding Bush would have some sort of acclaim. The New Deal programs, as we well know, took far more than 8 successive years to bring American GDP back to "normalcy," and Obama's economic package has been one of the centerpieces for the success of his campaign.
Where and when, if ever, will the American people draw the line, or will the mistakes of Obama's predecessor pardon forseeable shortcomings?

Yes, yes, you do. *Manipulates controls*
On topic, you have to define what is a serious criticism first. When does it become serious? Say, for example, immigration. Lots of hot topic buttons to press on that, from "stealing our jobs" to "great for the economy". How do you define which one is serious?

Honestly, since Obama has yet to make critical decisions as President to form his own foreign policy (though we know what he wants it to be), these first decisions will be discussed vehemently. Let's just say, for now, things dealing with domestic policy, for simplification. Such as (as you mentioned) immigration or the "bleeding" job market or healthcare reform or whatever it may be. It honestly doesn't matter WHAT specific criticism it is, really (and if you're unsure, pick whichever you think the majority will respond to first) - just how long people either ignore it or tolerate it.
Think of the posters here, for example. What unaddressed or mis-handled issue (or continuation from the last administration) would draw the venom from their tongues, and how quickly would this happen?
