Count me as one of those that maybe has far too low of expectations. I surely don't expect that my local congressperson is sitting by the phone answering phone calls all day long. I wouldn't want them to be, either. I know how difficult it is for me to actually get things done somedays when the phone never seems to stop ringing. Can't imagine someone trying to pull it off with hundreds of thousands given access directly and expecting to get through.
PeterB, I totally got the point you were making about Obama actually seeming to take information and process it in an analytical and thoughtful way. He is easily the brightest of any of the current candidates on either ticket as well as most that have run in the last couple of decades. I'd certainly welcome a President that was actually more intelligent than 90% of the populace. Sadly, many Americans have an inferiority complex about this whether they realize it or not.
