I wonder how many of you American guys realise how important Obama is for the rest of the world. Not for a long time have the hopes of the entire world been placed on 1 man. You'll notice how when Bush was around, the whole of Europe was going around saying "We hate America" and since Obama's been elected everyone has suddenly changed tact to "We love America! Woo, change! Woo, Obama!" .If Obama can do even half the things he said he was intending to do, he'll leave a much better world behind him. I want to believe in him because I think the world needs to believe in him, because for once he's actually given us hope that the world can change for the better.
I truly do not know what everyone is so exited about. Obama's just another honey-tongued liberal who appeals to the masses because he promises free welfare hand-outs deducted from the average Joe's hard-earned money.
Thran, I want to tell you something important. An overwhelming percentage of the news media of the United States is essentially a propaganda tool of the Democrat party. They are praising Obama, and telling the world that the world loves Obama because he is a Democrat, and because they know people will believe them. For 8 long years the media condemned Bush, in everything that he did, because he was a Republican. They even went so far as to tell everyone that everyone else hates Bush, and thus Bush was hated. You see, it works like this. If you are told that everyone else hates a certain person, you will probably believe it, even though those people are also being told that everyone else hates that person. Bush was hated so irrationally for the same reason that Obama is loved so irrationally; because the media told them to.
People have told me to consider Obama rationally. I say, screw rationality! I can believe in whatever the heck I want, and I want, I need, to believe that Obama can change the world, that he's the genuine article, that he has good solid and ethical principles and will stick to them. Obviously I may be disappointed (though I hope I'm not and that's something to judge four years down the line, certainly not now), but I think with the world in the state that it is right now, it's far more important to have a symbol of hope than to just tear him down without even giving him a chance.

The last person who had so much irrational hope vested in them was named Hitler. Adolf Hitler.
He was born to an poor civil servant in Austria. He came from relative obscurity to become
the German Chancellor, and later a totalitarian leader. He promised change, hope, and spoke of returning to Germany's roots, and rebuilding a Greater Germany. Sound familiar?
I have to ask you this: Do you agree with Obama's views? Does what you want to see match up with what you really see?
I can choose to believe in an all-powerful invisible flying frying pan because I want or
need to, but that doesn't make it any more real. From now on, every time someone pulls this nonsense I'm going to start seeing the all-powerful frying pan. Who cares whether it exists, I
need it to exist...
