The Democrats' upcoming convention will make history, as the nominee for the first time since 1788 will not be a white male. Obama,if indeed the nominee, will have considerable doubts by the voters to overcome. His inexperience and fast rise raise questions as to the true substance of the man.Voters have little knowledge of his record and past much preceding his contest with Hillary Clinton. As I see it, his challenge is to convince voters he can deliver on his promises. Congress after the election can either help, hinder, or do nothing for the next President. The economy needs attention, and the next President will be expected to take action. Lofty rhetoric by partisan politicians at the conventions means little to nothing to middle-class and poor Americans caught in a deepening recession. Americans look to the President for domestic management.
