Any real look at his life showed me how concerned he was for other people...I bought into the hope and change thing...and I waited to see it happen for myself.
After 4 years I thought for sure after he did not have to run again that change would come...fooled me again.

Now the sell job is even greater...and much harder to believe.
Not going to happen this time.
