This part is especially compelling.. I never thought of it in exactly this light but you are dead on..

"Not a second of daylight for those poor souls to actually enjoy a really neat president with a very modern and amazing story. He‘s also funny and engaging. And he wants to do great things. And save money. Hell my family are as white and as 'frozen chosen' as you can get and we have been fist bumping each other goodnight since the night Obama was elected. A great president allows you to participate in his or her narrative. But no way will the right allow that in their base with this Obama Presidency. If people were actually allowed to feel any kinship with this president it could very well have changed their hearts. And that would tank the GOP strategy."

That's what so many of us are doing, 'A great president allows you to participate in his or her narrative." And, you're right.. it is sad that those who are fed false information and believe every single word don't get to participate in the amazing history we are living rilght now!

"Do great things and save money"!
