Dawn of reality. Lessons to learn

What happened to golden child Obama ? Didnt he fill us with hope and optimism ?

Yes we cant?

What went wrong ? Didnt we all get teary eyed seeing hope getting rewarded and people making the right decision ? Werent we all proud of the choice made from whatever choice the media has provided? Why is the market still crashing. Why are jobs still losing ? Why is real estate seeing new lows ? What happened to the optimism ? What happened to all the hope ?

To me it looks like once again, we gave in to empty rhetoric. once again we chose presentation over content. We thought Kucinich looked silly talking about allowing the markets to crash. We thought Ron Paul went crazy when he said we need to stop borrowing and spending. We obviously had a better choice. We had a media celebrity telling us we are gonna be ok. We are gonna be fine. Just change the face in whitehouse and that would be a real Change. It is important that we address our racial prejudices before we check the economic pulse of this nation. It is important that our choice "look" good than be good. Who wants to do all that homework about economy! Who wants to go through the long and eloberate process of figuring out how taxes go up and down! Who cares. Someone looks sharp enough to know all those things. He's not gonna have to get into details about how the economy will be fixed. He seems smarter than our banker, so he must know what he is talking about. Our media was clueless about the crashing markets, how can we expect him to know all this stuff. His voice booming around town halls and stadiums saying it will be his priority is comforting enough. That made us feel lucky enough.

Those nay Sayers who said we need see what is wrong with us, not the world, were lunatics. How dare they question our sound fundamentals! So what if you spent years studying the world economies. So what if you think our phones cannot be tapped! All that wisdom can be hired. All that integrity aint gonna fetch a dime. It is faces that appeal to us. It is hope. It is promise. It is just that warm feeling when someone looks into our eye and tells us everything is going to be ok. We cant tell if they are clueless anyway. So what difference does it make.
