> In Obama's post-presidential book he lamented about the same thing in 2008, that his voters were placing their hopes of all sorts of change on him

I wonder why they did that. It's almost like he built his entire campaign on the promise that electing him would bring hope/change.

I get it’s threading the needle and people en masse aren’t going to understand nuance, but I don’t think his point was that electing him would bring hope/change, I think it was a call for America to remember it can change.

I don’t think “I have faith we can change but don’t put your faith in me” has the same ring to it as a campaign slogan.
