The difference is that Obama’s leftist followers want to believe he’s lying when he says things to attract voters and Sarah Palin’s followers expect her to be telling the truth about who she really is.
Couldn't have said it more clearly myself.
As to the larger topic, I do not worship any mortal person. I don't want to shock anyone here, but Sarah is not perfect. As long as the criticism is well meaning, I have no problem with it, whether I agree with it or not.
