That is certainly true.
I am a Democrat and an Obama supporter, but there are some people out there who really seem to think that Obama's election will automatically mean the end of global warming, a positive revolution in American politics, a reversal of the slipping economy, the end of the heath care crisis, and solutions to countless other problems around the world.
I am glad to see that these younger voters are getting involved (many for the first time), and I am glad they helped Obama defeat Clinton, but I think many of them will be sorely disappointed four years from now if Obama wins, because they are fooling themselves right now. There is just no way that EVERYTHING they are hoping for will happen.

I agree with many of Obama's political positions, and therefore I think he will be a good president, but no one person could possibly live up to the expectations of some.
In the end Obama IS a politician. He happens to be one I often agree with, but that doesn't mean he is going to be able to somehow rise above the political fray and miraculously change the world the way some of his most ardent supporters seem to believe.
