Obama has already "changed shit" just by winning this election.
Can we become 100% energy independent in 4 to 8 years? Of course not, but maybe a fresh administration, funded by internet donations instead of huge lobbyists, stands a chance of finally putting us on the right track.
The powers that be are much bigger than any president, so to buck the sytem will be very tough, but it would be to everyone's benefit (regardless of party affiliation) to change what is clearly NOT working.
Instead of bitching about Obama, months before he even takes office, perhaps intelligent people can look beyond shallow and ignorant political party loyalties, and come together for a common good.
It is time to move on... oil is yesterday's power.
