OK....how am I supposed to go down the road of there NOT being some form of messiah complex when this is being repeated?

Though I will vote for him with some modicum of enthusiasm, I actually find the fervor of Obama's supporters somewhat offputting. I believe that skepticism and healthy mistrust of all who would rule should be standard operating procedure. You would never find me having a politician as my avatar as CP does.

^ This has actually made me want to see a good production of Les Mis. When I saw it a few years ago at the Ahmanson it was ponderous, unenthusiastic and interminable. I put it on my "never again" list. This shows what an emotionally invested cast can bring to a show.
