that revolution needs to come from the people rather than one man and there isn't a stomach for that in the US

The people do have the will, but they lacked a leader, until now...they lacked the hope, until now...they have been made to believe all things are hopeless, they should live in fear and paralysis and purchase more and more to assuage their fear and feelings of impotency, until now...Obama gives them a leader, gives them hope, harnesses their fears, encourages them to conserve and come together in hope and a positive outlook which says "Yes, we can!" And, that, is what will bring about a revolution in this country.
