I'm hopeful about our future, but not because Obama told me to be

I have always admired Barack Obama and his eloquence; although often marked by loftiness, he speaks to me as an educated person. I am often motivated after I hear him speak and the same was true the other night during his State of the Union address, the last address he will give during his presidency. Less and less of my friends watch the address because I think they are tired of the empty rhetoric that the heads of state offer us. If our national leaders wish to restore hope in the myth of the American Dream and its democracy, they certainly have their work cut out for them because it seems to me like most people aren’t listening. They realize it’s a lie. Despite the eloquence and even the serious ramifications of a divided ideological government, the people don’t care anymore. Obama may be speaking into nothingness.I think our population at large suffers from apathy at the power of institutions and looks for something real and authentic.
