I half expect him to descend from heaven tomorrow, heal millions, talk in tongues, and walk on water. I get it, he brings hope and change. But he isn't the Messiah. Hell, even Fox news is in awe.

People need to chill the fuck out and tone down the expectations....
Maybe so but if this momentum makes people go to work and kick ass because they
are excited then maybe this can produce a rally of productivity and bring this country
out of recession. It's going to be us(the people) that actually bring the country
back and maybe some people just need this kind of motivation and hope to move them.

For that reason I'm all for the hype.

The hype is already making other countries excited about doing business here and that
is way better than the way they felt after Bush went into Iraq.
