Usually when people gave you good impression at the first sight, it is more easy to fall for them. This is just human nature.

I was thinking about this and on a certain level there are similarities to Hillary derangement syndrome as Bush derangement syndrome. There is a key qualitative difference in that in regards to Obama supporters there is almost no difference on the issues and almost all on the personality. Where as there is a gulf between those who support Obama and GW Bush on issues. Given that Hillary Derangement Syndrome is something that has afflicted Republicans for much much longer than Democrats I would say that this isn't something new except in regard to it being Democrats. While Hillary Derangement Syndrome while hitting some Democrats hard full blown cases are seen more often among Republicans.

He actually has quite a bit of substance as well.
