ONN: Obama win causes obsessive supporters to realize how empty their lives are
Money quote:
Jane: Clearly, they have no friends, nothing to live for...
Andrea: What about Obama, do you think he'll help these people?
J: No, absolutely not. In fact, Obama has said that he finds his supporters, "so irritating I can't even deal with it."
A: Do you see an end to all of this, Jane?
J: Well you know, Andrea, I think a lot of people just hope these people will die. But, worst case scenario is that someone with evil intent seizes control of them. They've proven their minds can be taken over by empty rhetoric.
A: So if someone were to come up with a catch-phrase as simple and vague as "Yes we can"...
J: Oh, awful. They would have an entire army of extremely energetic, insufferably annoying, mindless pawns at their command.

But look on the bright side. Like Sean Penn, they can finally say the words "my President."

Soon they will see that Obama is a partisan politician like the rest.

He's just another politician...albeit one with a lot of appeal to certain sectors...still just a politician. Watch the mood change in the US as people that supported him begin to realize that he won't be paying their mortgage after all.
I predict anger followed by fire.

Interesting article from the Washington Post that confirms their Obama bias.

heh. There's probably a lot of bloggers in the same boat. Anyone checked the pulse at Huff or Kos?
