How will Obama change the world If the world isn't willing to change?

We all know someone that is below poverty level......and likes it there. They might even complain that they have nothing.....that they WISH they had this and they WISH they could do that. But, they do nothing about it. Except live off the state. And continue having more and more babies. They don't want to work.....then they would lose their state checks.
We all know them. They want want want, wish wish wish. But what they really want is someone to do everything for them. Someone to take care of them, and all 6 of their children. They DONT WANT HELP, they want you to do it for them.
So, how will Obama change the world if the world doesn't want to change?
Sure, the unemployment rate is up.....because some people JUST DONT WANT TO WORK, or take the time and effort to LOOK for work!
Sure, there are a lot of places cutting jobs, but there ARE jobs still out there!!!
GO back to school....learn a new trade.......go to personal interest classes......start a small business.....do something to help yourself. Trust me, you cant help someone that doesn't want to help themself. It gets tiring. It gets old.
Obama can work a world of wonder for us. He can make this world a better place to live in. But, he can't do it on his own. So, all of us preaching and voting for change....lets work on ourselves first before laying it all on the shoulders of one man.

i think what he needs to do is to play like robin hood and take from the rich and give to poor. Give more for education that way it would give the kids a more of a drive to thrive in life then to quit school and get pregnantor other things the kids are doing thats not getting them an education

I have some serious doubts about what, if any, change 0bama will bring but that being a seperate issue...you are right. There are ppl that simply don't want to do any better for themselves. They are content to sit back and let the state pay their way. I know a woman who had 8 children in 9 years, one every year...why? Because every time she had one she got more foodstamps, more wic, more money. It's crazy and yet there's nothing that can be done. She can also use those kids as an excuse to not work even when she's not pregnant b/c what daycare is going to watch all 8 kids and to spread them out is even more of a nightmare...oh, she would get free daycare if she could find someone to watch them.
Alot of ppl tend to blame everyone else b/c they don't have more money, a bigger house, a better job, a newer car or whatever else but the truth is that individual is the only one that can change what they do or don't have. I would be more supporting of individual change then 0bama's great plan of change...with a politician change isn't always a good thing.
