why does everyone drink the Obama kool-aid?

<p>I posted this in another thread but I think it might answer your question.</p>

<p>I have always been an Obama supporter and have followed him and his campaign very closely from the begining of his campaign up to his early presidency now. Although, that is not to say that I have not been disappointed along the way, but I do very truthfully believe that he is a lot better than McCain or any Republican leader for the country (and the world) as it is NOW. However, even though he represents hope and arouses many passionate emotions in people across the globe and from all spans of life, it is still important to remember that he is a politicain after all, as I have now realized on his painful appointment for the pastor who strongly apposes gay rights to speak on his annaguration. So I think one should have a balanced perspective when analyzing Obama, because he is neither as great or as lowly as most perceive him to be.</p>
