(963 posts)If there is one constant in the Democrat side of the aisle, it is that many of them look to elect a savior. There is no one-person savior coming to rescue us. I think that is what Obama is saying when he says, "Make me do it". We can elect anyone we want but unless we get behind that person before, during, AND especially after the election is over, nothing will change.
I get sort of irritated by Democrats that think this guy or that woman is going to come in and rescue us from the dreaded Republicans. It doesn't even make sense if you think about it. We know that we live in an Oligarchy not a Democracy so why would anyone think that any single person could override the entire power of the Oligarchs? No one could, but the masses rising up in support of a leader could accomplish exactly what we need to take back this country for the American people.
