Posting a message on The Huffington Post, dated October 29, John Mayer believes in "the definition of the 'hope'" that Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama always talks about.

John Mayer has joined the A-list celebrity supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, admitting he believes in the hope the politician will bring about. Posting a message, titled "'Hope' Is Not a Buzz Word," on The Huffington Post, dated Wednesday, October 29, the rock singer showed his agreement to Obama's policy of avoiding war.

"What Barack Obama says to me is these days are good for something. Just when I'd thought my only role as an adult was to help shoulder the nation through its darkest days (known to us as "the rest of them")," John wrote on the post after saying about the 9/11 tragedy. "Obama gives me the feeling that I could be alive to witness one of the most brilliant upturns in a country's history. Imagine that -- a young adult in this day and age being given something to someday brag to his children about having being alive to witness. What a concept."

John furthermore revealed that Obama gives the worthwhile hope for the U.S. "I believe the definition of the "hope" that Barack Obama enthuses operates on the unspoken thesis that there has to be a polar opposite to the despair of 9/11," he admitted. Explaining the reason, he continued, "Because if we accept that there's not, the will to live becomes forever altered. To adults who will vote for him, Barack Obama represents a return to prosperity. To the youth, he represents an introduction to it."

"That's why hope is a worthwhile commodity," John added when referring to the hope which will be given by Obama. "To those who question whether hope is a tangible product worth building a campaign around, I'd say take a look at despair and how powerful that has been in reshaping how people think and live," he wrote on The Huffington Post.
