Reply #4: I'm sorry, but I have big problems with this.

Maybe I'm too grounded, too pragmatic, to devoted to the real.

In this piece, we read "We are not Obama followers. We are Obama supporters, and the distinction is important."

Okay, let's say that's true. Then that's fine. But elsewhere in the piece, we read "He takes the grief, the sense of powerlessness, the outrage, and inspires us to turn it into hope." All well and good, I suppose, opposed to turning it into hopelessness. But I see that as about the same as Monty Burns' "Award for Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of Excellence."

"orphans of our own idealism"
"looking within ourselves for a new leader" (Ergo, Obama is within you?)
"Obama is inspiring our better angels"
"catalyzing our inner healing power"
"the wounds in our identities"

I'm sorry, but this reads to me more like a Scientology manifesto than a serious political agenda.
