Will the rhetoric of hope and dream that does inspire, the dream for something better, eventuate?Obama is a great leader. Obama can help shift the needle of social and world change. However, will the extent of the hope that we are all being sold, be realised? Or will, as most leaders do, Obama become less leader and more accomodating to ensure that some changes can we actualised.
