Obama Obroad

[Sean]

As long as he's viewed realistically, then I doubt there'll be any big disappointments. Clearly there's a lot of excitement around Obama, but I've never personally heard any supporter of his say anything about viewing him as "Jesus", or perfect by any means. By that, I mean that for myself and all the people I know firsthand that support him, the general attitude is not one of idolatry - it's simply that Obama offers a net improvement for the country, while McCain, and until recently, Hillary offered a net decline. In McCain's case, because he wants to continue too many policies that have proven to be flawed, and in Hillary's case because she would've been crushed under the sea of controversy and drama that seems to perpetually surround the Clintons...largely of their own making.

So yeah, Obama's flawed, and he's said and done some things I don't like, but nothing I can say I've been surprised by. Certainly not enough to reverse my feeling that he'll be good for the country overall, while his opponents would be bad.

Or to put it another way, I'll be far more disappointed if he's not elected at all than I will be if he is elected and does a few things I don't like.
