I am wondering today why so much hope is placed in political candidates and yet so little trust is placed in politicians. Most of the world is starved for hope and has few things. We in the United States live in a country rich in things and yet are still starved for hope.

Further proof the approval rating of the congress is in the low 20's [the lowest ever recorded, even lower than George Bush] yet both of the candidates for President were sitting Senators as was one of the Vice Presidential candidates. How long until the fresh faces of todays excitement are yesterdays failures and disappointments? What really Lasts? What brings enduring Hope?
