Why Obama?

I can not figure out why people flock to Obama. Regardless of the picture he paints, America is full of opportunities. Why do people support a man who convinces poor people and minorities that they are stuck in a rut if he doesn't get elected President and save them from it?
I grew up poor and hate to be told I can't do something. I can't imagine being told I need someone to give me a chance right here in AMERICA.

I think, sadly, that people are looking for an easy way out. If you can't make your house payment, the government will. If you can't pay you credit cards, the government will. Obama tells a lot of people what they want to hear. He tells them that they don't have any personal responsibility for their actions because the government is going to take care of it. I don't want the government taking care of anything for me. Frankly it scares me how far the reach of the government has grown. I am really nervous about this election.
