Sawz:

If you took off your green glasses, you might notice that people from every walk of life and every section of the political spectrum have turned out to celebrate Obama's election.

Your insistence that his sporadic association with Ayers is significant in the overall picture is pathetic, and, I would add, aberrated.

Your use of "scary pushbuttons" like socialism is likewise disingenuous, or else profoundly undiscriminating.

Obama is fiercely in favor of the private ownership of production, of entrepreneurship and the spirit of innovation and private capitalism which has built this country. He is also deeply in favor of a country in which the citizens take responsibility for building a coherent whole, look out for each other, and look for thebest in their fellow-men.

These latter concepts may be beyond you, or they may not, I don't know. But to try and paint them with hated colors is both ucharitable of you, and distinctly twisted.
