Plus soooo many people just fell in love with him which was another red flag for me... Even I was strangely motivated...

Maybe people, yourself included are just sick and tired of the games the Bush Administration has been playing.
We as a country have gone through so much in the last eight years, almost 50 million of us cannot afford any kind of medical care, Take a look at how
many houses are "forclosed", how many people are out of a job, how our borders are a joke and we as a country actually condoned torture meanwhile
"the haves" have more and the middle class (who pays the bulk of the taxes) has been brought down to it's knees.
Are you aware that 51% of all our money as a country has been poured into the military. Now google "Who profits from the war in Iraq" (Most are
personal friends of the Bush Cartel (ooops I mean family).
Our 43rd presidend used his power to personally advance his family and friends and left the rest of us to rot. This is what happens when people chose
a bad leader.
Maybe people are for once in a very long time hopeful that finally we have a man moving into the White House that maybe has some ethics, back bone and
intellegence (something our 43rd president didn't have).
You talk about mass hallucination, God, two years ago I was about the only one in my area that didn't like GWB and could see him for the idiot
dictator he was.
Again, talk about mass hallucination, How in the heck could anyone vote for GWB twice?
The people we have to blame for the mess our country is currently in are the ignorant people who voted party prejudice (twice) for a man that
couldn't even run the two companies his father gave him and then go along with all the lies (262 quoted in Paul Waldman's Book Fraud) and still
believe that lying smirking face.
It's time for a change, hopefully Obama will be up to the task of straightening out the mess our country is in from the previous administration.
Maybe people are hopeful that we have a man of the people vs a corporate yes man.
Maybe the American people have finally woke up and figured out that Fox, CNN and all the other mega media conglomerates are all owned by a select few
rich and CONTROL THE INFORMATION which they have bent and twisted to suit their agenda.
Maybe the American people have finally woke up and learned their lesson that voting party prejudice is mass suicide and a intellectual might just be
able to run the country better then a big mouth bully.
No, I didn't notice Obama "changing" his accent. I have several e-mails from this courageous man when he was Senator of my state. He is a man of
the people, not corporations and the corporation are scared because they know (unlike Bush) he cannot be bought.
Maybe there is some hope for us. Maybe I can finally change my ATS location logo from Corporate States of America to what our forefathers
intended.
It's time for a change.
For once, in almost a decade there is hope again.
