"Just curious ... is there ANYTHING Obama can do that is wrong? Anything?"
I really don't get the mentality of people that say these types of things. Far as I can see, I've never met an Obama supporter who things the guy is omnipotent or perfect.
Just for you, here's 2 things I disagree with Obama on:
1) 5 years ago he came out strongly in support of the decriminalization of marijuana. So many law enforcement resources are wasted on such trivial "offenses". However, as it became apparant he was going to run for the big office, he backed away from that support.
2) He expressed support for the so-called "compromise" (capitulation) FISA bill. Though if he actually gets Telco Immunity stripped from the final bill, as he said he will work to do, then I'll certainly forgive him for this one.
There's other things too I don't agree with.
But why are some people apparantly so bitter that we have a candidate that people are so enthusiastic about? When was the last time we could say that as Democrats?

You might want to check into getting some new glasses for reading your computer. There are lots of Obama supporters who are in vocal and stunned disbelief if you suggest that he is anything less than Wondrous and that you just must not Get It if you don't see his appeal.
<quote>But why are some people apparantly so bitter that we have a candidate that people are so enthusiastic about?</quote> Enthusiastic? Speak for yourself. I haven't been this unenthusiastic about a Democratic candidate in 36 years. And given that Mondale and Dukakis were two of them, that's a pretty pathetically low bar.
Obama's basic premise of "transformation" and "post partisanship" is about as bogus as a three dollar bill. Whether the dude is extremely cynical or profoundly naive, I really can't say.
The enthusiasm for Obama reminds me of little so much as an adolescent hormone-fueled crush.
And also to you.
"That's not the table-for-one sign!"
Let's see with the swing state strategy we've had 2 Grandpa Ronnie presidencies, 1 Boosh the barely literate and 2 Boosh the Illiterate presidencies and netted 2 Billy C. presidencies. If you propose that we stick with that level of electoral success then, as much as I loved the Clinton era, I suggest that you may be confused as to which of the parties in this conversation is mindless.
If you can find a point in my post where I'm challenging the 50-state strategy in my post, then yours makes sense. Good luck with that.

Oops. My comment posted in the wrong spot. My bad.
