2007: We can end a war! We can save the planet! We can save the world!

'Hope' and 'Change' Meet Reality: President Obama's Reelection Roadmap:

In 2007, Barack Obama presented himself as the candidate of change and worked to lure Democrats with ads that promised that: We Can End a War," "We Can Save the Planet," "We Can Change the World."

This is pretty heady and ambitious stuff, which inspired famous (or near-famous) actors and musical performers to cut a video that caught the attention of millions of Americans.

Four years later, a more subtle and subdued message from team Obama. Instead of promises to save the world, supporters of President Obama take a more realistic approach to winning the election.

"Unfortunately President Obama is one person," says a woman identified as Alice from Michigan. "He cannot go -- plus he's got a job. We're paying him to do a job so we can't say, 'Hey could you just take some time off and come up here and get us all energized?' So we better figure it out."

12. "So we better figure it out."

Funny, when we do that regarding policy and what direction to move the country in, we are dismissed and called names. It's almost like...like...like all he wants is the campaign workers and money. Hmm.
