So true, and this point you made kills me the most, as I did vote for Obama, and did believe he’d be different:

“Obama seems decidedly disinclined to use his prestige to accomplish any progressive goals”

Kutner's stance not only reduces this important issue to a kind of sports rivalry, it smacks of the narcissistic, destructive and undemocratic cult of personality that surrounded George Bush. This is not *about* Obama any more than it was all about George Bush. Besides, Obama seems decidedly disinclined to use his prestige to accomplish any progressive goals - one reason why I never supported his candidacy. Well put!
