    I think you really have to spend 8 years under a President who marginalizes you and implies you're a terrorist if you have a dissenting opinion and to watch nonstop hate spewing from a major news network to really appreciate just how negative and how destructive politics had become in this country. It's waking up every day angry because your country is doing disgusting things around the world that most of the civilized world disagrees with. It's losing your pride as you face the rest of the world's righteous anger against you. It's agreeing with the rest of the world when they hate you for actions that a majority of you don't support. And when you agree with the rest of the world, you're suddenly "unAmerican" for holding to your American values, values that once made us great. Things have been turned upside-down and backwards and inside-out for so long here, that to hear positivity and inclusion and rationality again, instead of fear and over-emotionalism, is almost life-changing.

    Obama is so refreshing a change that it's hard not to be (probably over-) enthusiastic about him. His message is one of inclusion and one of healing. We're hurting and we're screwed up. And we need some positive news, so is it any wonder we're probably too happy?



    This.

    And honestly, I'm glad other countries are paying attention, and I'm glad to hear you support him, but you can't jump to conclusions such as us labeling him a "messiah" when you don't live here. I'm really not trying to say that in a rude way, it's basically what lyzzyrd said though, when you have to actually live with the shit Bush and friends (including the bank corporations, which whether you believe it or not, our government IS tied to) brought about, it is a change.
