Reader comment on:
The Obama Cult: Not for Everyone

Submitted by phyllis, Feb 23, 2008 17:11

Great article. I couldnt figure out how to express my concerns/reactions to the tidal wave, tsunami of Obama. First I felt sorry for John Edwards, when it became apparent he couldn't compete with Obama or Clinton. Now I feel sorry for her, cause there's no stopping the tidal wave.

Believe it or not, I have nothing against him. I was only a reluctant supporter of Hilary, having first supported Kucinich (sp), then Edwards.

It's frightening that people allow themselves to be swept along so easily, although Obama said the other night that he'd been running for pres. for 2 years. So maybe he's not so innocent and naive as he's presented himself.

Thanks for the great article.
