If anything, I think "we the people" have learned not to be so automatically trusting & complacent of any Presidential administration. A little bit of cynicism can be a healthy thing. That may be the biggest lesson from the GWB legacy.

I too am skeptical, but I will admit that I haven't followed the elections terribly closely nor do I know either ex-candidate's stands in detail - only in general terms.

What I do know is that it has been said over and over again that Obama is a very eloquent, skilled speaker. It is a great skill to have in a president and I'm glad for that. But can he actually do what he says he can, and will he do this country good? Speaking's great, but it takes a hell of a lot more than that to run a country.
