KateTex: "One of my major problems with Obama's supporters is their near total refusal to take a closer, more objective look at him."
Okay, so post some links to some good articles from reputable sources! I will read them. Bring on the background material! Just don't link us to factcheck2's idiotic hit piece. I would love to get some good links from the Chicago Sun-Times or Tribune or whatever, as long as they're fully sourced, balanced pieces of writing. I don't doubt that Obama is a politician with all that the word implies, but I do think he's on the good side of the measurement that goes from "low corruption" to "high corruption." Obama actually takes the core values of the Constitution seriously and I haven't seen any egregious instances of him selling out his own principles for cycnical political purposes. You are welcome to provide material that will disabuse me of that, but don't expect me to take you at your word when you say "it's out there -- somewhere."
KateTex: "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."
Blah blah blah "myth" blah blah blah "idolize" blah blah blah
