They practically appeared out of nowhere to promise us a brighter future. Like a breath of fresh air they delivered their warm and hopeful words of change, freedom, opportunity, quality of life and better days to follow.
We packed the stadiums, conference halls, and squares to get a glimpse of each of the Messiah's and listen to their promising and convincing speech. Everything sounded so good (in theory)!
We squashed and pushed each other around so that we could get to the front and shake hands with the chosen ones.
On Election Day we dared to trust them with our vote. Hours later we found ourselves taking to the streets to celebrate their grand victory.
On Inauguration day we wept as they were sworn into office. In the cold and pouring rain we watched them take their throne.
Little did we know that all hope would later fade as we sadly discovered the new administration would turn out to be similar if not worse than his previous one.
The story repeats itself - The War continues, the cost of living, number of homeless and unemployed will continue to increase, so too will the crime rate.
As for the environment – all I can say is that it passed away many years ago.

Reagan – Papa Bush – Clinton – Bush (Junior) – and now Obama…

Everything they said was nothing but hot air. The show continues…
How much more must we take?
