that people are looking for a "savior."
We are a population that has been abused and traumatized by our own government. People see a way out of the darkness if Obama takes the reins.
The OP's point is a good one though. You don't want to elevate Obama to a god or rock star. That's excessive emotionality and invites a crashing return to earth. All the MLK, RFK analogies are misplaced.
These are different times.
It will take a team effort to turn this country around.
