Bev, for me it crosses the line into bigotry when he paints those opposed to 
him as jealous that they don't earn as much money as others and THAT"s what 
drives them to support gun rights and religious issues.  Otherwise, if things 
were going peachy for them, they'd forget all about gun rights and religious 
rights.

If I wanted to have a text for illustrating the "golden child" effect, the 
posts on this list would serve quite nicely.  Every time some criticism comes 
up 
about Obama, there is an outpouring of "Well, do you expect him to be 
perfect??  Who hasn't done or said some things amiss?"

Gene's idea of "Political Perfection" is correct, but it ONLY applies to 
Obama.  Everyone else is fair game.

No?  Well, let's try it.  Bush?  What, do you expect him to be perfect?  What 
president hasn't spent too much money, driven up debt too far, used the 
military in an agressive way?   

Obama is an idealogical vacuum.  The Rev Wright stuff rushed in to try to 
fill that vacuum.  In lieu of knowing what Obama is about, other than the 
mindless mantra of "We have to change the way we change", we look closely at 
what he 
says to see what he's about.   The comments at the SF fundraiser give us a 
glimpse into what he's thinking and it ain't pretty.
