It can get heated but I always find it amusing.

This doesn't mean that I don't think Obama is a promising candidate, as promising as politicians can be, or that I might not vote for him. It means that if I vote for him it isn't based on my loyalty to Obama.
Obama has become quite the Teflon politician in this campaign. If you talk to many Obama supporters, they'll find it inconceivable that anyone could disagree with Obama on any issue. He's an extremely intelligent guy with a fantastic educational background, parts of his platform have issues where reasonable people may disagree.

I understand being passionate about a candidate, and really buying into his/her message. What I don't understand, though, is the creation of a halo effect around Obama, and the indignation some people have towards anyone who would dare question his policies.
