"Ra Ra RA we're the greatest ain't Obama great!"

Personally I never liked the deification aspect. It smacked of giving him a free pass to do anything he liked in much the same way GWB expected to be his right. I never liked all this "hope" and "change" stuff. Hope for WHAT? Change from WHAT to WHAT?
