Well Put!
I'm an Iowan who was very impressed with the positive campaign Obama ran leading up to the caucus here. I've been growing increasingly disillusioned with him ever since--and I think you've put your finger on why. It isn't him as a person I've come to find irritating so much as the evolving tenor of his campaign, which seems at once cynical and immature, and the hysterical adulation of his supporters, which borders on insanity. I will try and block all that out--much as I've been trying to block out Bill's stumping for Hillary.
I do wish the Obama people would make him more available to voters in forums other than stump speeches and handshake lines. He's starting to *feel* like Ronald Reagan--vaguely pleasant and uplifting, but aloof and highly scripted. And it's the fault of his campaign basically.
