He thought of himself as a great social architect who was going to eradicate poverty and war. Those were his expectations when he became president, but powerful special interests were impossible to overcome. Despite his frustrations he refused to remain silent and everywhere he went he recited words of hope and change. Many would like to see him become the nations first benevolent dictator, but unfortunately he will remain only as an inspirational speaker offering nothing but a baritone voice.

Do people whose minds are still functioning at least partially, believe anything a career politician says? Do they believe even for a second that they have your best interests at heart and that they work for you, not you for them?
Consider this: in a democracy the elected representatives of the people are supposed to follow the will of the people. In a dictatorship the politicians tell the people what to do. As an example, consider the health care bill. Whether it is good or bad, every poll says the same thing: a majority of the American people did not want it passed. It passed. Sounds more like a dictatorship than a democracy.
If you want to continue to be able to direct the course of your life, be very cautious about those who lie to you to gain an elected office.
