Speaking as an external entity watching what's going on there from here (Which I find very interesting in and of itself), my own two cents is thus: Best case scenario, your new guy manages to get the various runaway problems (Chiefly the War Against Stupidity, ie, Iraq, and the whole "Spying on our own citizens" thing) under control, and repairs some of the damage that's happened to your general world image. Worst case? What I've seen of the man doesn't seem to indicate he's quite as stupid as Bush is, so I'd predict next to nothing getting done due to constant infighting between the two parties.
