Personal Truism: Bush was the worst president so far in my lifetime. Two wars, a trillion dollar deficit and lies upon lies stacking up over an eight year period; seeing his retreating back did not come soon enough for me.Personal Truism: Barack Obama is an intelligent, thoughtful man who gives me hope for reform and a new age of personal responsibility in government.Current Public Fervor: Barack Obama will fix everything and the world will be Nirvana once again...ehh, I think that's reaching a bit.I've noticed over the last few months the mass hysteria that has gripped this country. Since November, people have have reveled in a jubilation not seen since the since the drug fueled Sixties. Some have even compared the fervor to the second coming.
Now it has been awhile since I've read my bible, especially revelations, but nowhere do I recall in Thessalonians do I recall reading "...and he shall become president and fix the world." I do have high hopes for Barack Obama.
I believe he can bring much needed change to this country, but I'm keeping perspective. A lot of damage has been done to this country and its reputation over the years, so lets not expect too much too soon.
You put the man on too high of a pedestal and its a long way down.Congratulations to our 44th President, Barack Obama. I wish him the best and have
reasonable hope for him over the next four years. Good Luck, President Obama!
