Say what you will, but Obama’s job is going to be a lot easier than the incoming Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai. In a power sharing agreement that was negotiated after elections which were held nearly one year ago, Tsvangirai has large obstacles to overcome to get his country back on track. He was sworn in as Prime Minister today.

In addition to walking a fine line in sharing power with long time dictator and some time thug, Robert Mugabe, Tsvangirai will have to combat an economy with an unemployment rate of 90%, a cholera outbreak as well as the shutdown of schools in the wake of a humanitarian and political crisis.

Say what you will about Obama’s problems, but it seems that Tsvangiria’s got it worse. Could you imagine Bush still hanging over Obama’s shoulder?
