Come on...
How deep does the obsequiousness have to get around here before even you notice it?
Whatever you might think of the conservatives and Republicans here, nobody ever slurped on Bush with starry eyes the way people are slurping on Obama.
Never fall in love with a politician. Obama is one of two things: a dedicated socialist, or a raw Chicago pragmatist who played a dedicated socialist long enough to get his political career going. The latter would be far better than the former, but neither one is appealing to me.
