I try not to get involved with the Politics thread (although I do read it frequently), but this thread just reminded me how irritating a lot of Obama supporters are, and I hope that's not a reflection on Obama himself. The most irritating example I remember happened a few days ago. I was going for a bike ride, and this car with a window rolled down drove past me, and a voice yelled out, "Obama!" After a few more seconds of observation, I realized that this guy was yelling out Obama's name to every car, pedestrian, and bike he passed on the road. I can't argue that it's bad to have enthusiasm for the presidential candidate you're supporting, but I agree with C3PX in that it seems like a lot of people are just yelling, "Obama" because it's the trendy thing to do. Hopefully I'm wrong in that observation because I have a feeling that by the end of tomorrow, Obama is going to be our new president. And hopefully that will work out well. But in the meantime, it'd be nice if people like Janskeet didn't command strongly suggest us to do something.
