Gush

Obama is the recipient of more gush than a number one draft choice. For chrissake, can we let the man do something first?

Sullivan evaluates every detail of the man and his choices as if everything he touches is god's gift to human decision making. He is a fan boy and sounds as silly as I must when talking about Miami Vice or a Jerusalemite in the time of prophets.

Over the years, rarely has someone or something with so much hype lived up to potential. Sullivan reminds me of a football scout dreaming over Reggie Bush's speed or Greg Odem's size. He needs Apollo Creed's father to shout at him ringside, "He's a man! A man! Not a machine!"

He's the president, not the second coming. That's enough for me.
