"The audacity of unachievable hope"...and the expression of what is achievable, yet knowing its not, to achieve a goal are two entirely objectives. IMO; There are now millions of young folks, that honestly believe the Federal government or Obama himself, will address their personal grievance, yet the President has absolutely no authority over any individual for either good or bad things perceived by anybody. Generally speaking of course.

I’m sure there exist some naive individuals that believe Obama will grant them some sort golden ticket, but this is not the way most liberals think. This overly optimistic Obama messiah thing comes from the far right and is just reflecting their
own disillusionment after the complete failure of neoconservative idealism. Cynicism toward the very traditional American idea of “Doing the impossible” which has served us quite well in the past, is to me antithetical to being an American . To simply dismiss this narrative because it did not originate from a certain “like Minded group” will quickly send conservatism to the outer fringes of the American political landscape .
Obama is not an idol for liberal's as Reagan was for the conservative's. This was a created idealized myth. HE WAS AN ACTOR !! HELLO !! Obama has certain political talents and experiences in his life that people can identify with on a very practice level much as F.D.R possed. A talented problem solver that listens to, and attempts to surrounds himself with people smarter than himself. That's all I really need, It just so happens he is black, and this time in history it just happens to be the perfect icing on the American layer cake of recent history.
