Reply #67: I disagree - but maybe I'm naive.

I think ruggerson is misinformed - see my post below - and frankly, I think that is at least partly the fault of Obama supporters who fail to answer the substantive questions when they are raised, even if the question has been asked and answered 6000 times already. (Note there are quite a few here who do give substantive answers, and I know you have on many occasions - but we have our share of knee-jerk flamethrowers as well).

Overall, I think the op is just trying to inject sanity that even if someone agrees with all the negative things said about Obama, Obama is still going to be a better president for this country than McCain ever could. It is sad that such a post even needs to be made at DU, but it does.

And I have been mulling making a very similar post about voting for Hillary if she somehow becomes the nominee. I was planning to work hard at keeping my negativity toward Hillary mostly out of it, but maybe I should mimic ruggerson's op.
