Barack Obama has been President of the United States for over 48 hours now. In that time, he has not been assassinated, there have not been mass racial protests in the deep south - and at the other end of the spectrum, he has not taken off a mask to reveal Osama bin Laden, and he has not banned firearms (not that I am condoning American gun laws).
In other words, he hasn't done anything other than exactly what he said he would - and he has done a lot of that, from closing Guantanamo Bay to freezing salaries of any public workers making over $100,000/year.
Obama is obviously a great campaigner, who was able to win the Presidency on the basis of promising change, and being black. Now, he must deliver that change, and quite frankly, nobody cares that he's black. He's a President, he will be judged by the same standards as the rest of them.
It's too early to say for sure, but it looks like he's off to a good start.
