    It's sad that you feel the need to denigrate Obama supporters in such away. You are, unfortunately, repeating tired talking points which aren't doing anything to help wake up these supposed cult members; instead you are just alienating us. If you want us to stop snorting the magic peace dust, then maybe you should focus on why the canidate you're backing (I won't presume to know) is better than what Obama is offering.

    To be honest, aren't most of Obama's policies very similiar to Clinton's policies? And don't they have a comprabable amount of time in elected office?

    So, please, tell us brainwashed Obamabots why we should be supporting Hillary.
