If you believe that Obama is secretly signaling to people to start sliming his opponents then you should not vote for him. My understanding is that he wants to elevate the current political discourse because he believes that's what the general population wants and, as a result, a genuine campaign will prevail on the issues alone.
I doubt he wants your vote if you view him with cynicism. I know I don't want cynical people in our camp as it undermines the ideology of our movement for which he stands.
