Historical Reflections

Barrack Obama would be someone i met on the campus of my college, most likely the head of the debate team or something. Not only because he's our current president but i would like to ask him what goes through his head on many of the choices he makes. For example, one of the biggest things that gets to me about him is that when he got elected, if you asked a large percentage of the people that voted for him or would have voted for him only voted because either he was black or they didn't like McCaine's party, not because they support what he does.

He told us in his campaign that he was going to bring change to America. I'm still waiting... its been over a year since his election. Its still hard as hell to get a job, and we are still in the biggest recession since the Great Depression of the 1940's and yet people still think of him as being our super hero. I dont find his actions as heroics. As i do recall, this is similar to the way Adolf Hitler came to power. The country was in dire need of a leader to promise to fix their problems and give them a sense of hope. He himself said that "
The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one." One of Obamas most well known posters have a picture of him in red white and blue with the exact word "hope" on it. How did he get elected? he promised to make things better for the American people and promised to fix this recession and the problems that this country is in. "the world has changed and we must change with it" wheres the change you promised. Whats the difference other than motives?
