the position you argue against seems only to make sense as a generality--like "obamania" does--a tv-meme.

i take it that this is a curious expression of your being-skeptical.
well lots of people are skeptical.
geez.
Loquitor is not that far off base here, if at all. I know many people that look at Barak the way Loq is talking about. The first stage of recovery is admitting there's a problem, and Obamania does exist outside of media fantasy. Many people (present company excluded, I'm sure) need to admit they are absolutely in love with Obama far out of rational proportion, then they need to reassess their emotional connection to the man to bring in line with his political reality, then decide rather to support or not support him. Whatever way they come out is perfectly fine, I'm not arguing against Barak here just Obamania. It's a disease, but there is a cure.
