No, but we did four years earlier, and four years before THAT.

Part of this "messiah complex" as it's called by Hillary and others is this country's generation war is taking place in this election.

And this guy wants to lose it as quickly as possible, even as it's almost been won. THIS makes him a savior?
No, thanks. I'll stick to a regular statesman; my soul doesn't need anything a politician is able to give it, but my country needs a competent leader. He doesn't fit even the basic requirements.

The people younger than the Baby Boomers have realized that the Baby Boomers have f***ed this country up, and this is the younger generation trying to grab power away from the older generation. So naturally the younger generation that supports Obama sees this election as a larger-than-life issue. The Baby Boomers should be used to it, they did it themselves in the sixties and seventies.

While it's true that the youth ALWAYS think they've got something on the ball that their elders do not (and you seem to believe this yourself), it's always just arrogance and hubris that leads them into this obvious delusion. The only thing more convinced of his own goodness and wisdom than a half-educated young person is an altruistic do-gooder of a left-wing zealot that never outgrew his foolishness, and that looks back in fondness on those heady days when they were re-making the world.
And I despise them both.

Thanks. It was very revealing.
