but don't take your eye off him for a second. He is warm red meat at the lions club. If he is not consumed we may be. If he surrounds himself with loyal supporters and yes-men we will pay dearly as a people and a nation. If we don't become and stay personally involved on a local as well as national level we are toast. If Obama supporters assume that by electing him that they can then trust him to do what is in the long term best interest of the nation as a whole, they are beyond naive. Obama desperately needs his democratic detractors and those independents that disagree with some of his positions to become engaged in his campaign. If a major portion of the democratic party, especially blue collar and middle class Democrats do not get and stay involved we will have a disaster. They will not beg his machine for permission. Obama must begin to reach out bigtime. He should start with HRC supporters.
