I think I have noticed a shift in the way America solves problems. With the recent elections of 06 and 08 it seems like we are looking for a superman to solve out problems. President Obama came on the scene as a "blank slate" upon which Americans could write their hopes and dreams.
We are looking for a really smart person to save us from ourselves.
I hope we all know that no one of us or even a group of us is as smart as all of us. However the right person in the right place could make an error that could destroy all of us. This idea that a strong man/woman needs to save us leads straight to totalitarianism. This nation was based on self rule. Every original ammendment to the constitution is about limiting big government. The founders were really smart guys who were smart enough to not base the government on smart people. I think we should keep it that way.
