False dichotomy. If I could, I would have had Mike Gravel or Hilary Clinton as President over the Obama we got.
It's not a false dichotomy, you said he was "the worst." That includes against the people who historically stood against him in the presidential election. He's clearly not the worst that could've happened, even if he isn't measuring up in the liberal stakes and not measuring up in the conservative stakes either, despite really trying to placate them. Audacity of hope indeed. It's pretty tragic.
