If you assume that everyone who doesn't like Obama has a "closed mind", then you're the one with the closed mind.
I don't see a lot of critical thinking going on among his supporters. They ignore or dismiss his background, his record, his associations and his many stumbles, lies and backflips on the campaign trail. I'd say Obama is the faith-based person's candidate.
It would definitely be someone who says he could no more disown his racist pastor than he could disown the black community -- then disowns his racist pastor a fortnight later.
Obama's victory speech: "I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."
Is this guy the Messiah or what? He's healing the planet and slowing the oceans already!
I'm glad the weaker candidate got the nomination -- this makes John McCain's task easier.
In the unlikely event that Obama actually wins the election, Americans will have a tough four years. But the upside is that he would be such a rotten President that the White House would stay in Republican hands for the next two decades afterwards.

Obama has no past achievements, and he changes his policy positions daily. He's an empty suit.
And he doesn't even know how many states there are.

Just wait until he gets in a live debate with McCain. He'll look like the empty suit he is.
Get him on his own and he doesn't even know how many states there are. If elected, he will make Bush look like a genius.
