Wait I thought I was the one with the fantasy scenario =P 

I'm partially joking, or in other words I know what your driving at but I'm not really convinced by it.

In regards to Obama's presidency, I'm very much in a wait and see mode right now.  I have no doubt Obama is skilled and capable when it comes to getting himself elected, my doubts rest entirely with his ability to be a true leader and perform the duties of the office with the efficiency and judgment that is requried.  And the only person who is going to convince me on those two points is Obama himself, and he won't be able to do it with words (and not just because of who he is). Actions truly do speak louder than words, and Obama's actions will tell me all I need to know about whether he is truly up to the job, but it will be a few months before even the early results start coming in on that poll.

Although I am supporting the conclusion that he will be a good president, my real point is that talking Ayers and Wright is stupid for many reasons.

If people aren't trying to say that he's a Radical Black Socialist Terrorist, what are they trying to imply?  Nobody ever answers this.  Ever.  The closest I ever got to an answer is, "it shows bad judgement."  How?  He won.  He got security clearence for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.  Are they saying the FBI doesn't do it's job well?
