John Mayer: Hope Is Not A "Buzz" Word

John Mayer stops for a second to pose for a few pictures before he attends the release of the Blackberry Storm at the Avalon Hollywood on Wednesday night.

Blogging for the Huffington Post, Mayer writes about his support for Barack Obama and his belief in hope.

“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,” Mayer writes. “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.”
