Liberals have nothing going for them but an intense faith that somehow things will be better. Obama is the latest peg for that empty hope. In another 3 to 5 years there will be another (equally weak) peg and another and another. They will still be holding on to that hope as the Eastern seacoast floods, as power riots rage in the cities, as Third-World dictators (but friends of American Freedom) gain nuclear capacity, etc.
