A close relative compares Obama to JFK and there is the sense of the former being the long awaited savior. Savior from what, for what?
I am voted, but did not listen to the news at all. Sorry - I have been involved in politics on the local level and have seen the shenanigans. That experience is coupled with the fact that human beings have some pretty similar characteristics summed up in Faustus and other places as the seven deadly sins: PEWGLAS (pride, envy, wrath, gluttony, lechery, avarice, sloth).
But it struck me that if one does not have an eternal savior and the joy and hope of the 'resurrection from the dead and life everlasting' then this earth and this time is all one has. One needs salvation here and now - security and the good life now.
It really really matters who our leaders are. I voted. And then I continued to tend my garden - of family and community - a certain type of paradise.
