When even the Kool-aid drinkers will admit it is over the top <bg> you can imagine how it strikes others who might like Obama more if he were not the most praised and worshiped beyond any actual accomplishment in modern history. This last accolade must embarrass even him.
>I agree, this is a little over the top. He has the potential to be one of our great presidents but this is a little premature.

>Last week I was at a volleyball match at Mundelein HS. Mundelein is an affluent northern suburb of Chicago, home to many doctors, lawyers, and fund managers. On the way to the gym I stopped by a display case about the four presidents from Illinois. Barack Obama's name was misspelled. Barak. I emailed the school on their web site the next morning, nicely. An equally nice response came back -- I am embarrassed and we will correct it today. And I bet he made sure it was. Very different school district -- his position is Director of Communications, which I don't believe Round Lake HS has,and he has a PhD.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
