They see him and think oh shit, now that we have a black man in office I am going to become rich..............they also think he is one of them, in case people don't know, obama is loaded, he isn't from compton, he isn't driving a caprice, or a blue lambo. He is an upper class man who has been like that for a long time now
Now the thing that i see that's different is, he still thinks like a middle class person and attempts to connect to middle and lower class people, where as bush or mccain, no matter their efforts CAN'T connect. They dont have the charisma, they dont have the passion like he does. They love their country but they can't show people the way he does.
And to me, there is nothing wrong with hope, that's what the country needs right now, the hope that things will be better, this is what roosevelt offered, and when people dig into his presidency they realize he didnt change everything, america did. but they did it because they hoped and wanted it.
Our nation becomes very confident and arrogant about who we are and what we deserve every so often. When this happens we fail, we have to go through this time and time again to remind people why we are so lucky and to get people to cherish it.
I know you don't like Obama, and whatever your reason that is your thing, but what i think alot of people want from you and the rest of his detractors is see the good, not just the bad..............he hasn't stated his intentions right? well what he has done is brought together crowds of millions, black, white, latino, asian, everyone.........he has made people see that they can stand next to each other and not fight. That might not be a huge deal to some, but to me it says alot. Hell I cant even go to the club without bumping into another race and people wanting to fight, thats just the way america has become, so i pray people can just shut the hell up and realize no one is better than another, if we dont want another depression and another world war, and god knows what else, now is the time to show it, by helping everyone else. Hell i knew volunteering existed, I did it alot in high school, but as I grew and began to work and started caring about my family i stopped caring about everyone else, but a commercial came on advertising it and made me look, all of a sudden im signed up for 10 different things, I wouldnt care who the hell made me pay attention, a black president, a white president or anything else, but the country has to learn to take care of itself and stop assuming we are better than everyone else, now is the time to prove it by coming together
