That I would find hard to believe and certainly would hope is not the case as his time and energy is better spent elsewhere.

Having said that I saw a piece somewhere on his main speech writer who is very young as in just out of college.

You're so funny! :) Time will tell - I suspect that we will be finding out the answers to all our questions sooner rather then later as the truth unfolds.

I don't know if he's got character or if he is a character. I just hope he is not drunk on his celebrity status. No difference to me, I'm still just trying to survive. Will I see any positive change in the quality of my life due to him in the next 4 years? Hope so.

Individuals with character and concern for others don’t make these kinds of mistakes because those thoughts are not a part of their everyday life.


Exactly.

"Obama gives me hope, I pray every day. What about you?"

"Obama MAKES me hope, and I pray every day too, likely for similar things as you but different."
