So far, in my experience, I like what he&#8217;s doing and believe he&#8217;s fulfilling a higher purpose and I&#8217;ve seen zero evidence to the contrary.\u00a0 Obama is funneling hope into people who have not been hopeful for many years.\u00a0 When you fill people with hope, their perception of what the possibilities are expands, and that is what attracts a more successful result.\u00a0 A segment of the population that has hopeful expectation that things can turn around, can balance out the pessimistic mindset of the rest of the population.\u00a0 As <a href=\"http:\/\/abraham-hicks.com\" target=\"_blank\">Abraham-Hicks<\/a> says, <em>It only takes a few with focused, conscious thought, belief and expectation to over-ride the unfocused critical thought of the masses<\/em>.\u00a0 I choose to be one of the ones who hopes for the best, prepares for the worst, and encourages my fellow man along the way.\u00a0 I choose to be one of the ones who celebrates the good in every moment, and who continually looks for evidence of more of the same.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t care what others think and say.
