The history of Obama's sudden rise in Illinois and national politics is readily available, if you simply look. It's a history which involves cunning, calculation, and ruthlessness, all of which have been documented in detail.
One of my major problems with Obama's supporters is their near total refusal to take a closer, more objective look at him. If you still like the guy warts and all, fine, I have no problem with that. But conspiring to create a god where none exists is not fine; I have no desire to be at the mercy of someone else's myth.
