Well it doesn't 'have' to be better than this. Educated idealism is what lead to Stalin and Hitler. Hayek's
The Road to Serfdom nicely illustrates how the "educated idealism" of the Germans led to the socialist policies that wrecked most of the world and took away most people genuine freedoms.
(Oh, and please note I'm not comparing Obama to Hitler or Stalin, just saying that change for the sake of change hasn't always worked out very well.)
