Now, if you want to read about the stuff that's too much of a downer to even bring up at this stage, try this out:

The problems that this nation faces are so severe that it's going to be hard for anyone to talk about them and get elected. Look how far Ron Paul got, for example. The talk about “Hope” as an abstract concept is a variation on “Trust me”; for many of the problems that's going to have to do.

Sounds crass? Sure is. But this is a campaign. He's gotta get elected first, and that means there has to be positive spin on everything. How do you spin the Five Crises that are threatening our way of life? Obama's got the only way.
