It is because most people don't know enough to intelligently discuss deep issues, so they resort to the personalities of politics because those are much easier to discuss. One can easily debate the merits of Obama’s birth place or Bush’s IQ and bring up tons of re-circulated “facts” that make them sound knowledgeable about politics, especially among like mined people. Most TV and radio pundits have made their careers out of doing this.
In many ways it is also a throw back to high school pep rallies, they get to cheer their team together and call them #1 even if their record is 2-10.
The decisions any president makes are far reaching and long lasting. When one side tries to pin the problems of the nation on the current president the other side will invariably point out that the current situation didn't just start on Jan 20th, 2008. What bothers me more is that when it comes to fixes to the current situation, both side are diametricly opposed to each other's solutions. Pointing fingers is the only form of comunication in partisan politics.
Conservative: "Wow, I can't believe we're going to have a $1.1 Trillion deficit next year. Obama just doesn't get."
Liberal: "Oh yeh? Well Bush wasn't that good with our deficit either. Now it's our turn; get used to it."
Seems to be the general discourse in the country: not sure what it solves exactly
Yep Herman Cain was right about liberals indeed, They S.I.N.
S-hift the topic
I-gnore the facts
N-ame call
Deflection is one very solid method that Alinsky taught his liberal community organizers and that they are conditioned to believe the government.
Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama) believes that he is superior to most of the rest of us and he is entitled to impose his will on us by any means necessary.

Yaeh Right! Give me a break. I could fill up this thread with hundreds of posts on C-D from hard core right wingers using the exact same S.I.N. method. Love how you shifted the topic from the Op's thoughts to a personal opinionated slam at Obama.

Well that's just YOUR personal opinionated view
Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama) Character and Policies have dictated his fate not even the 'MISGUIDED' liberals like being lied to, after all his is what he is
Maybe because many of you (Rs/TPers) said nothing when Bush was at the helm causing many of the problems you blame on Obama.
If you're left with a really deep hole, you have to do somethig to try to get out.
Take, for instance, the bailouts.
Bush started them and set most of them into play.
Who started the wars in the middle east? Bush & neo-cons; not Obama.
I understand your complaints and I do agree, both sides are just as guilty in this regard.
You may want to look deeper into history than just Bush, most problems we have today go back decades. Just for example the middle east issue has been a bi-partisan mistake for decades. (D) Harry Truman’s government was in charge when we helped the UK tople the Iranian government and instill the Shah. 60 years later we are still paying for that one.
We should have listened to Jefferson.
Look beyond political parties and pep rally politics, it is the elite that is the problem, left and right.
We need the government out of the game and only have them as referee.
