I think that a great many Americans feel exactly like you do. The basic fact of the matter is that we don't really live in a democracy anymore. The only way you can really gain any real power in the US is if you are rich or have support of the rich.
I think that Obama really is a different type of politician than we have seen in my lifetime... but ultimately, he won't be able to make huge changes because our government is in the stranglehold of corporations and the ultra wealthy. Furthermore, it has taken decades to do this damage... it won't be solved in 4 or 8 years. I only hope that we can repair some of it... because I have no doubt that the GOP will regain footing and reestablish their "peace through military might" agenda (which is basically global conquest with a title "The New World Order"). Just read the writings of Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld, William Kristol or any other neo-conservatives that have a stranglehold on the GOP and you will see what I say about them is true. They are imperialists in the clothing of world peace.
The American people are not free... anyone that says that are fooling themselves. We are all slaves to the system... just like the movie "The Matrix". Our government represents the machines and the people they draw their power from are the living batteries that are held captive in their own minds. We are assaulted from all sides by propoganda... from everywhere... the foremost being mass media and religion. We are indoctrinated from birth. Some poeple might disagree with me... but that doesn't make it any less true. In my opinion, they are caught in slave mentality.
My beliefs can be proven... if I start a group that produces literature and has meetings about how we are slaves... soon I will be watched by the FBI, harassed by local police, have news media bashing me as "militant" and on and on. The same thing will happen if I start an Atheist outreach.
