That's what politicians do, the fact is as old as ancient Greece. It's just human nature I guess. Everybody likes having that nice feeling of passionate belief in something. Preferably a belief in something they have to struggle for to accomplish, and they like people who can make them feel that way. His vision of America, from what I can see, is one where America is unified, the divisions the Bush presidency has created will disappear. The rift between self-serving politicians and the people will be removed, and the politicians will actually start listening to, and serving the people. That's the dream, and it conjures up that nice feeling. Now you can say that all that is rubbish and he won't accomplish any of it, but it's a dream that a lot of Americans want to believe in right now. You have to give him props for recognising that, and for making people see that dream and believe that he can turn it into a reality with their help. There's a skill in that. Here in Britain our Prime Minister started his premiership by selling us that same dream, but he didn't do it half as well as Obama. Then again he didn't have to (the scum-bag became PM without fighting an election). The reverence and adulation comes from the vision he is selling to the people – his dream.

And in this day where there is so much negativity people are more prone to grasp at any tidbit of hope that is out there. Like I said in the title, I have always been exceedingly cynical, I just feel that kids are growing up with this feeling of inferiority and too many people are looking elsewhere for answers on how we can make our neighborhoods, communities, cities, and our country better. There are hero’s who work in communities throughout this nation. People who donate their time and their money to causes that solve real problems and they are not recognized nor do they seek recognition for what they do. But then you have Obama who has done nothing being treated as if he is the savior of the world, based on a media manufactured vision. If he is able to inspire young people to do great things, I’m all for that. But just as you have all of this admiration for the guy, what happens when he does not win? That will be a huge letdown to these folks. Hey Dee Dee, I’ll come clean somewhat, I understand all of the “hope” aspects people have for him.
