Last night I saw Iron Man (fantastic movie by the way) and during the film, Iron Man is faced with a dilemma that is in his best interests to lie and chooses to tell the truth. I thought about that. Almost all Superheros are like this. Superman is not even capable of telling a lie. So these characters are popular, because these Superhero characters have this capacity to do the right thing and tell the truth. And many times it is not in the Superhero's best interests to do so. So I thought about that and then the Presidential Candidates. I decided that only Barack has this quality. When Barack promises something I actually believe he is going to do it. When I look at what he does, he keeps his promises. Why do people hear what they want from other candidates and then ignore that they do? That other Presidential Candidates fail to deliver over and over? People make Superheros popular, because they want the qualities of these characters. It is to bad that there is not more attention paid to Barack's ability to do what he says he will and to tell the truth, as it will actually help people in their daily lives with issues that matter.
I am not trying to say that Barack is a Superhero, but it dawned on me that Barack has these same characteristics that people value.
