I think there is certainly a realistic view of Obama out there, and the fact that some of his supporters are starry-eyed (I think you overstate how many) doesn't mean that there isn't anyone who sees him realistically.
I see Obama as certainly a politician, and generally a pretty good one. He isn't an angel, as politics is a dirty business and you don't succeed at it without getting a bit of dirt on you. I don't expect that he will change the way Washington works in any significant way, but I support him because I agree with him on the majority of issues and think that he has essentially the right idea about where to lead the country. And I don't think I am an anomaly among Obama supporters, whatever you might think.
