> We thought Obama would be the guy to save the country this. But reality is a lot more complicated than ideals. People generally don't like being reminded that they have been duped into believing the hype, even when believing it was actually the best thing. It's also a human psychological trick that we cannot easily imagine what would have happened if we did not believe or did not have "hope". So there is fact that things didn't get rectified as much as promised, the fact that many people believed that would happen, and the probable actuality that things got much better than if they didn't believe.
