For those of us on the left, anti-Obama madness on the right is bewildering. We <\/em>think Obama is a centrist Democrat who will disappoint us once he’s in office.

Did I mention this man hates me? You and me? Yes he does. Why? Because he can. Yes He Can. Beneath that cool persona is a megalomaniac. Cool?
