He found out stuff he did not know. He really wants to do what he said but republicanism will not let him. All. Bush fault

Take your pick.

I think that's the '[Hope and] Change' everyone was talking about; 'I'll change my views once I have the powers'.

I can't wait to see the 'hope'. I wonder what that's going to bring us.

Things look different, depending on the altitude. What once looked like hard working Americans appear to be simply ants, from on high. The kind of idiots you find drinking in the neighborhood bar are the same kind of idiots you will find sitting in the highest offices of the land. We truly are a nation of common people. The only thing that changes, is perspective.

Promises, pledges and visions come from a fantasy world.

Politicians often find that their fantasy world is altogether more difficult to make a reality than they imagined.

The average voter, on the other hand, often finds that the words of a politician serve one purpose - to get elected - and bear no relation to reality once that end is achieved.

Exactly why we need to keep politicians out of as much as possible.

There is NO NEED for politicians and politics to be part of government revenue...FAIR TAX takes them out of it. There is no need for politicians and politics to be involved in marriage, health care, or even border security.
