i think the idea that the president alone can actually create the kind of huge and substantive change that we need to create a viable society (what we are in now seems, at least on the very apparent surface, to not be viable) is highly over-rated. if obama becomes prez and we see major positive change occur it will be because umpteen other people at all levels of government, industry, and society make that change possible. that his bright and shining aura might inspire many to such ends is extremely positive, after a fashion. and if the people are ready and create such change it is a sign of the times, ala the mayan calendar, a greater energy moving through us all, as todd rundgren wrote in one song, a "world-wide epiphany." barack would just be a more mediated version of this, a reflection of the hologram, a symbol then for what we must accomplish. we can see this in him if we wish, but we dare not then say, "oh, he'll do it all, he'll take care of us." if we raise him as a bright and shining symbol, and then indeed through the efforts of the many we do take a sharp turn for the better in the world, we can let him shine, but we had best assume the credit (having done the work) or, good or bad in the moment, we have handed over our personal power again.

the president is simply a figure-head. question is, whose?

world-wide epiphany now!!!
