5. you act like Obama is floating in the air somewhere alone

He has a ready army of supporters willing and able to defend his candidacy against all-comers. Don't just suppose that they're all some 'insiders' or 'minions' or whatever other sycophantic description you want to apply. Most of his support he has seen right now is coming from a sizable majority of those who elected him last time around, so I don't think there we'll find any significant lack of enthusiasm among Democrats for defeating the republican nominee and providing this president a second-term.
