There's a lot of different opinions about the Obama administration and the two terms of his presidency. Some thought he was ineffectual and never lived up to his promise, while others claim that the changes he made truly brought America forward. Say what you will, there's no denying the fact that when he started campaigning, the entire world was excited by just how much potential he really had.
That potential has never been better captured than in this incredibly timely photo, taken from when he was on the campaign trail for his reelection. When Obama gave a speech in those days, everyone sat up and paid attention. He literally was delivering sun from the gods to the people. And like Prometheus - who tried something remarkably similar - Obama got disemboweled for it.
