I like Obama. He's a likeable man. I haven't seen much of his personality. What I have seen is exactly what he wants me to see, and that leaves me skeptical. What you're reading from my posts, rather, what you should read, is that I'm pessimistic about charismatic people. When I watch him, I see a real man, while other times I watch him and he sounds like he's just putting on and saying all the right keywords.
I can definitely live with MY black president. But I will remain skeptical until I feel I've seen the real Barack Obama.
