I can't emphasize enough how many people I know or read online who voted for him who now say "I actually believed him when he said he wanted to be post-partisan and work with Republicans." I of course take the opportunity to say, "No, you WANTED to believe him, and deluded yourself. Anyone looking into his record knew he was full of it."

Excellent post!

Don't you find that to be the case? I can't tell you how many supporters of his, when I asked about his past, had NO clue as to what he was into. They hear the charges about Wright and socialism and "spreading the wealth" and, as they would a TV channel they're sailing past, they just say "Ah, they say stuff about everyone..."

Most of these fans of his never even READ his book--they just like the cover photo, and that The Correct People liked him (Oprah, usually).

A young person I work with who is a fan of Obama just finished reading both of his books, and said 'It's mostly made up, I bet"...and he STILL likes Obama!

When people think with their emotions, there simply is no way to turn them with an intellectual argument.
