I agree with you that people seem to like Obama because he's young and says "Yes we can" and "I will change America" a lot. And we all know that that stuff doesn't mean anything. By your standards he's probably marxist too, although I think he and Marx would disagree over an awful lot. His church is frankly slightly bizarre. My suspicion is that he's not such a strong Christian and probably pretends he is more committed to religion than he really is, just to get some votes. He has said how attached he is to this church because he wanted to be seen as being deeply religious, but it's come back to bite him because his church has such a racist pastor. Be careful when you talk about people voting for him simply on race or "how my family votes" lines though. All candidates have their core vote, who are people who don't think about anything and vote the same way every time. That's why elections are rarely won by 50% or anything like that. No matter how good one party is over the other, there will always be a core vote for each. And that goes for Obama and everyone else too. Thanks for this, it’s an interesting article.
