There is a great need for optimism in the world, especially right here in the good old USA. If you are a follower of Obama, you are happy and optimistic, feeling that he has the answers and will lead us down the right path to prosperity. If you oppose his platform, they you are full of doom and gloom, and see a rather destructive course for the country, like being on a "run away" roller coaster, out of control.
These are the first words of a song, "There's Got to be a Morning After"
There's got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let's keep on looking for the light
