    He is above you, Joan

    Obama is not above "us" Joan, but he is above you. He is not a scared concern troll hiding behind a two bit opinion as you do, Joan. He is in the trenches, fighting for a vision for America that people like you may be too petrified to see, and so you have to try to diminish who he is and what he is doing by writing your nervous little opinion pieces, clinging (yes, "clinging") to the security of your small views. You couldn't handle even a squall, let alone the storms Obama has faced over and over and over his entire life. You'd rather be safe and secure behind your tissue of concern than stand for anything. You're way too frightened to have anything useful to say about Obama and his campaign to tell the truth to America - because he believes that most of us (not including you. apparently) can handle it and arise to it.
