Guys... perspective please.
Not only is he the first African American president... which on its own should generate most of this, but he is following one of the most unpopular presidents in history. He represents a generational transition, a tone transition, and a party transition. People being enamoured with him should shock no one. If you are worried, it is just a reflection of how dour and cynical recent politics (since Kennedy) has become.
The idea that someone should not have faith in politicians is not "dour and cynical", it's realistic.
