"if he turned out to be an outstandigly good president, which seems pretty likely"

Well, McGrath, I think that may be taking wishful thinking to the extreme. I believe Obama shows great promise and I am supporting him, but I think we need to see him get to the Presidency and walk the walk before we begin to speculate about his legacy.

Obama difficult to criticise? His past drug use is something he has admitted to, and I believe they'll go after him on that basis. Remember, NO ONE thought Kerry could be attacked on his armed service history, and they made that into an issue.
