| 4. yes, there's some hero worship of Obama here. There's also hero worship |

of Hugo Chavez- though I've never seen a post about what he looks like with his shirt off. Your claim that there's "so much new support" for the war in Afghanistan is unsubstantiated. There's always been a degree of support for Afghanistan here.
But by and large there's far more criticism of Obama here at DU than praise. I have no problem with that. I have a problem with people claiming that the opposite it true. It isn't.

Perhaps we just live in a celebrity culture. Obama never asked to be that type of President. |
