I knew a lot of people who had no clue what kind of person Obama was, where he was lacking, or what he would do as President. They knew a few things:
1. They wanted to vote for the first black President.
2. The believed the tripe about the economy being the worst in 50 years.
3. They believed the tripe about Gitmo.
4. They believed that Obama would be the first post racial President.
The last reason is very important since anyone who believed that has to be pretty disappointed.
