Three quick points. First, you may be well served to take Afchic's recommendation to heart. Thoughtful disagreements are welcome here--high-horsed grandstanding not so much.
Second, sarcasm is an impoverished response to thoughtful irony. (Do you really believe that a quiet professional would be anything but thoughtful and fair in his evaluation of anyone's character or performance? While it seems that neither the Columbia University or the NYU library systems have a single copy of
Chosen Soldier, the most casual reading of that work will suggest the opposite conclusion.)
Third, if Senator Obama's supporters are so intent on Americans making economic sacrifices in the years to come for the sake of "change," "hope", and getting America "back on track", what is wrong about expecting them to lead by example?
