1. Fans?
You know I absolutely hate it when the election of the president of the United States is described like it's a sports event.

I don't think this describes anyone I know that is an Obama supporter very well. Hell yes, we're worried. We're not worried that Obama won't win. We're worried that the election will be stolen and for good reason. We don't trust the system to count the votes honestly, or to even allow people who have the right to vote, to actually vote.

Finally, what's with the description calling all Obama supporters "liberals" (with a lower-case L). What's wrong with calling us "Democrats" or even "Americans who support Obama"? Oh, that's right, we're not REAL Americans are we? And of course, the only reason for a "liberal" to be a "fan" of Obama is because we want to walk across the stage of world history by electing a black man. Not because Obama is a better choice for president, because he has a better handle on the economy, the war, will name supreme court justices that are reasonable.

This article pisses me off.
