All too many people feel comfortable with Obama because he is a mediocrity at best. An evil mediocrity. A successful, traditional. decent man is too much of a challenge to their dark, empty souls. Obama is a much better fit. Just the way Bill Clinton is still popular. Being around him does not make anybody with a guilty conscience uncomfortable.
Ah... they hated Romney for the same reason they hate seeing modestly dressed daughters.
