People may like Obama, but they've been raised to believe that "socialism" (generally undefined, but somewhere with "The Devil") is bad, and people whom they have trusted up till now are saying Obama="socialism". The cognitivie dissonance is killing them.
Why don’t I travel everywhere by gothed-out hot air balloon? Why am I not accompanied by a perpetual Danny Elfman-penned soundtrack? Why am I not greeted everywhere I go by women in fanciful costumes twirling fiery…thingies…to say nothing of being greeted with open arms by Winona Ryder?

I have no idea what "Got 'er did" means. I clearly am not a real American. Sigh. I'll add that to the list of things that I'm not really. As a kid I was often told I wasn't really Jewish, nor am I really a Catholic. As far as I can tell, I'm a real woman, so at least there's that.
I also may be a real bitch.
