Two black women in KMart talking about how Obama was going to fix everything, now that he was President. I walked away, I didn't have the heart to tell them that they didn't make enough money for him to care about them.

Yes, it's the cult of belief. At least Bernie supporters are not relying on him to fix everything, he has already told us he can't, not without our help.
