I'm afraid a lot of people are going to be hurt and disillusioned when (not if) Obama makes a mistake (if he wins the nomination & the WH). People are holding him up to an impossible ideal, setting him up for failure in their eyes.
He is NOT as good as JFK, FDR, MLK. Not yet. He may one day be...I don't know. If he does get the nomination, I hope so. Personally, I don't think he has it in him, but if he wins the presidency, I hope I'm wrong.
Remember, JFK, FDR & MLK all had their faults, but did amazing things in spite of that.
It's like someone said about putting a woman on a pedestal, like some men say they want to do instead of recognizing her equality. Yes, she's up high, but there's not much room to move around, and it's all too easy to fall off if you misstep.
