The world will love us again: another dud

[davester]

This is very weird. Why is it that the right-wingers are the only ones who are trumpeting the expectation that Obama should be the second coming, only to express profound disappointment that he's just a regular guy.

*Straw Man
Arguing against a position which you create specifically to be easy to argue against, rather than the position actually held by those who oppose your point of view. (from the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe http://www.theskepticsguide.org/resource...acies.aspx
