Plenty of Germans said the same thing as Hitler took over. They thought he was good for the country and refused to see his nasty side until it was too late.
Obama scares me precisely because the Media is in the tank for him, because of this Messiah type submission, because there are a lot of questions that he refuses to answer, or says that they are of no consequence, because of his ties to radicals (Muslim, Terrorists, Socialists and Criminals) that if you question him, you are attacked by his followers...and on and on.
The bottomline is he has no experience, we know very little about him, or what exactly how he intends to change the government. Add that together with Pelosi, Reid and Dean in the other power positions and you have a recipe for unbridled Hugo Chavez type change.
You may wake up one day and wonder where our Democracy went.
