139. Bingo!! I couldn't have said it better:
Obamamania is not a grassroots movement. It's a product, a very slick carefully packaged product. It's been fed to you. And part of the product is the illusion that you and your young friends are somehow creating a grassroots movement yourselves. Actually you're just unpaid salespeople and voters.

Obamamania has one goal: getting Obama elected. That's it. He's a creature of the Chicago machine who's been groomed by Axelrod to be maximally electable. He's not going to change anything. His positions are virtually identical to Hillary's except where they're more conservative. And his callow youth makes him dangerous as hell (witness how his aides had to explain to him why voting to confirm Roberts to the Supremes wouldn't be good idea).
