I don't think that Obama voters expect him to solve all of our problems. Instead, I think that the American people are once again happy to have a leader who inspires. Agree with Obama or not, you can't say he doesn't do that. In the end, government won't solve our problems. For too long we have been sitting on our fat asses expecting government to fix our problems for us. Good leaders, like Lincoln, FDR and Kennedy (and hopefully Obama) are more than 'figure-heads'. They inspire people to better themselves and their country. At the very least, It's nice to have a sliver of optimism again.
