Ah, if what you seek is the power of infinite possibility then you need more than just the Presidency. It is the representative democratic system itself that affects society, not who is sitting in the driver’s seat. I can get you into the presidency while also rigging elections so that a party who will follow you loyally can gain an overwhelming majority in Congress, this will remove any resistance against your plans. The rest is up to you, former joy and pain have vanished, now the hours are swept away. Wake now! All your ills are banished. Trust the newly risen-day. Break the brittle husk of sleep. Greet your hour of destiny. Speed and wisdom hold the key. The world is yours to grasp and keep.

Now I must show, in action, that a man may be free as gods, and be as great; not shudder at the dreadful pit, that harrows our fancy, self-condemned to its own dark fear, but struggle to force a passage through the narrow straits, at whose mouth the flames of Hell appear; and take this step with calm determination, though it should bring with it tribulation. The throbbing pulse of life returns to greet the dawn of day. The constant earth, all through the long, dark night, was true to me: it too breathes with new-quickended life beneath my feet, and rouses in me the resolve to do all Man can do to make his life complete. Now the world lies spread open to the day; the forest hums with a multitudinous voice; light’s fingers probe the darkness, from the sky, and all the myriad forms of life rejoice. Colour on colour separates from grey, and all around me here is paradise.
