I have posted repeatedly that Obama was not my first, or even second or third, choice among the original Democratic primary candidates. I am proud to support him now, and I pray that he will
pick the best people for his administration. It will take generations to undo the havoc wreaked by the Bush admnistration.
Agreed on all counts!

And the perception of 'obamaniacs' let's them pretend that we all find him infallible, so anything he says or does they find fault with, proves everything we believe wrong

And I don't think for a minute that the 'fear factor' is a thing of the past. Lieberman was just swinging that club, 'We're going to be attacked!'

It will still work on a significant portion of the population. We just can't let them decide things for us anymore.
