Mike Santoro, 27, Queens, AdvertisingNEW YORK—With President Bush in his final days in office and President-elect Barack Obama busily forming his administration, the incoming 44th U.S. president carries a lot of weight on his shoulders.

Megan Albert, 24, Jersey City, Marketing: 'He is not technically even in office yet and he's trying to get his feet on the ground, it looks promising.' ()William Jackson, 44, Bronx, Commercial driver: 'I do have hopes for him, you can see that he is trying but he knows he's entering a tough situation.' ()

Do you have high hopes for Barack Obama? Daniela Rizzo, 28, Queens, Marketing : 'First of all I`m not a Democrat or Republican I`m in between, its probably a good idea to have a Democrat as president after 2 terms of Bush. I just hope he has good changes.' ()Karpov Guryui, 51, Brooklyn, Teacher: 'I feel he is a nice guy but not sure if he has enough experience to run the country.' ()
