Falhaar: "You guys actually think Obama is bringing back "hope" or "honour" to your country's system? I truly feel sorry for you. Here we go again with the Punch and Judy show. Same as it ever was. Orwell weeps for you all from beyond the grave."
Who are you addressing? Why the snootiness? As for Obama bringing back hope and honor, you seem to have missed the point. The point isn't that Obama is perfect or that he's going to reform everything to some Platonic ideal. The point is that the U.S. has been run by a corrupt set of jackals for the past 8 years and we're hungry for a leader who doesn't completely suck. The low-suckage Obama could just be that leader. We're not asking for much here. I'm not sure what Orwell has to do with anything, though I am sure it makes you feel smart to make a British literary reference.
