Which hype, exactly, stated (or even implied) that "The government is going to fix all your problems?" Do you have links?
Before I waste my time digging up links, answer me this. Do you think Obama was elected due to rugged, good looks? Maybe it was his vast political experience? Wait, maybe it was because he was so well spoken without his telemprompter.
...or, JUST MAYBE, people bought in to his rhetoric and broken promises packaged as "Change."
To my knowledge, no media source would be as suicidal as to specifically state that the government could "fix" everything, but that doesn't stop people from hearing what they want to hear.
(p.s. I know...It didn't help any that the previous administration had botched things up so effectively either.)
