9. Newt is sitting somewhere, laughing his a** off because Barack appropriated the word "hope" |

"Hope" is a dirty word when it's preceded by the unspoken word "false."
As for average people not being involved in politics, the average person watches Survivor and American Idol and thinks Brittany Spears is more important than the Downing Street Memos, so this adulation of Barack is not in the least surprising. Yet he has the gall to criticize the excesses of the '60s and '70s. What a joke. The '90s and 2000s are all about excess. It's almost obscene how we wallow in materialism, and there on his web site are ringtones for cell phones and all sorts of "brand Obama" material goods.
Dorothy had a lot of hope, too, as she danced down the Yellow Brick Road.
