The power of a leader or a President is not in the many important decisions that she/he makes, but in “the atmosphere” that she/he creates. Many people in this world are not independent thinkers, so they go by the atmosphere. If the atmosphere stays on long enough, it has the ability to make culture, to become culture, just like art and law do.
So I think what makes Obama, Obama is that he has proved he can create an atmosphere of hope and positiveness. Almost any leader can create atmosphere, but in different ways. Just as Bush successfully created a “bullying” atmosphere in this nation for eight years. That atmosphere can bring about table of values, can set up priorities socially, politically, economically, …in all possible scales and angles.
That’s the main reason I can keep faith in Obama as long as he keeps this atmosphere. Atmosphere then brings change, a very widely spread change, a genuine change, a natural change. As though every single one has been a part of that change. Has actively participated. Not only the president.
