Even if you disagree with some of his views or policies, you still want to listen to them and even reconsider where you stand. Tonight it finally dawned on me, that my 'prejudice' against Americans in recent years has been more a reflection of their leader, not the citizens. That last buffoon made America hard to like, I must say now I am proud to be America's hat. Now if we could only find such an incredible leader for our country.

A fairly pragmatic guy at the left of centre Washington Post today examines "why a chunk of the country seems so ticked off at Barack Obama."
