Obama supporter Kathleen Geier writes that she's "getting increasingly weirded out by some of Obama's supporters. On listservs I'm on, some people who should know better – hard-bitten, not-so-young cynics, even – are gushing about Barack… Its been 8 long years of silliness. Its no wonder people are desperate for something good. The funny thing is these people who are so critical initially tend to become true believers down the road and become even more obnoxious than the people they are flaming. Joe Klein, writing at Time, notes "something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism" he sees in Obama's Super Tuesday speech. "We are the ones we've been waiting for," Obama said. "This time can be different because this campaign for the presidency of the United States of America is different. It's different not because of me. It's different because of you." Says Klein: "That is not just maddeningly vague but also disingenuous: the campaign is entirely about Obama and his ability to inspire. Rather than focusing on any specific issue or cause — other than an amorphous desire for change — the message is becoming dangerously self-referential. The Obama campaign all too often is about how wonderful the Obama campaign is. “ That's sad. Those comments up above are very clear to me. All Klein needs to do is go to Obama's website or read one of his books to see Obama's views on the issues. I wonder why he hasn't done it yet. Oh wait....I get it now.....he couldn't write this hit piece if he had.
