No politicians can stand up under the burden of so many hopes and dreams. He isn&#8217;t going to be able to fulfill them because he can&#8217;t, no one can. How the heck is Obama going to end poverty? No one has been able to accomplish that in the history of the world and since he&#8217;s policies are going to lead to more poverty, it&#8217;s hard to see how he&#8217;ll end it. And how is he going to save the world? Aren&#8217;t you lefties against that kind of arrogance? That we think we have the ability to solve the problems of the world?If he hadn&#8217;t played up this whole political savior shtick, promising a fundamental change to America, I might actually feel sorry for him because when his followers realize that the change he brought was more lay offs, a weakened economy, higher prices and higher taxes, they aren&#8217;t going to be so thrilled with their messiah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barak Obama!
