All this talk of a new party is worthless if one can not convince the people of their ideas. People are selfish to the teeth and self-preservation is always at the forefront consciously and subconsciously.

Sadly this statement will be written on the tombstone of American History.
"the people" are an easily driven mass, guided by media, the internet, and talking heads. "They" have no sense of historical presence and can be guided by a skilled orator into drinking poison, or voting for unsustainable obligations. A wise leader, which Obama may, or may not be, will guide the people through deserts, hills and valleys. A crafty or unwise leader, which Obama may, or may not be, will guide the people into the desert.
I give as my proof:
The Lion King. Mufasa, a good and wise king, knows what the whole herd needed, and put herd above the self desires and the whole herd and valley prospered. Scar, a crafty and evil animal, used the resources which Mufasa had so carefully nurtured and grew, and the herd eventually starved and rebelled.
What more need be said
