I think you and I are examples of the people who can be supportive of the administration without actually drinking the Kool-Aid.
There are a lot of us out there.
So, yes, I am an Independent who voted for Obama, support Obama, have a wave of emotions over his win, and think this country is ready for something better. But I am still annoyed by his speech pattern and am still waiting for him to earn the praise that he is receiving. And if I read or hear one more person type or say "Obama is asking us to...." (you aren't the only one, AKA Monet
), I will...continue to do what I've been doing: HECKLE.
