  no worries glenn -

  it's cool dude -

  or as my "hero" of yesterday kovie used to say "vibrant criticism is essential to a well-functioning democracy, and Obama, being a grown up, not only can handle it, but he WELCOMES it, not to mention needs it. He said so himself on numerous occasions. The man himself is a lot tougher and more mature than some of his supporters appear to be.

  Now that last phrase I can't agree with, because I am also incredible tough and I am constanly suffering from not being critized enough- especially on UT but perhaps if I tell you i also would have to dispute your statement "Obama is not intrinsically good and good things don't happen by virtue of the mere existence of his presidency".

  We both know he is the only "evil politician" who is at the same time "the messiah" and he has proven this already with all these good things which already have happened just by the virtue of his mere running for the presidency and the messiah always should be critisized about economical stimulus programs. Because what does a messiah know about econmics. But I'm not so sure it was always very clever to speculate about his Holyness choices for his administration (you still owe me one for Brennan) - because a lot of what is discussed

  on such speculations are just - (and if you like German you will love this word) - "Scheisshausparolen"!
