Is it too difficult to understand that Americans expect to have discourse and grievances with our elected leaders and the federal government? No, not Obama and his followers. They thought Obama had a pen and a phone.

Obama supporters think Obama should get his way on everything regardless of consequences. If you dare disagree with Obama, the attacks and name calling from the left was unbelievable.
Most level headed Americans understand Obama is a politician and isn't the savior the right labeled him out of jealousy and spite.

Why did you expect Obama to be anything more than a politician? Is it because a few fans on youtube said outlandish things and you were dumb enough to believe everyone felt the same way?

He is Bush Lite.....

skinned.

He is much smarter than W but so many of W's people were left in place so it was obvious to me some things would remain the same.

Really? We're using the race card? Could it be that maybe, just maybe some of us don't like his policies? Nah that couldn't be it! It's just easy to label someone a racist when they don't tote the line.

However, if he is building on W's foundation why are so many on the right acting like he is the exact opposite of W? Is Obama left or center right? Make up your mind

Bush was a neocon, plain and simple! Folks like pknopp and I make no bones about criticizing his actions, such as going into Iraq, enacting The Patriot Act, which Obama or ANYONE on either side of the aisle is doing nothing to try and get rid of BTW! IMO vote ALL of them out!!!!

It wasn't the right that labeled him this.

Why? Because he promised to be.

One who is "much" smarter doesn't get over ruled 9-0 in the Supreme Court at the rate Obama does.

I understood Obama is a politician. It's the left politicians, media and celebrities who sold him to Americans as their saviour. Unbelievable that people were stupid enough to buy into it. I used to think that Americans were generally intelligent people. Now I know different.

To a politician, propaganda is a wonderful thing. There are many useful idiots out there who will buy it. The left politicians and dark bankers laughed their asses off at the adoring masses. The right saw in disbelief as they watch the adoring masses.

In playing the race card, the Democrats show that they have no moral scruples whatsoever. To the progressive, the end always justifies the means.

This is the party that booed God out of the DNC party platform 3 times before the chair ignored the majority and allowed the Almighty to return. And this was done cynically to avert political fallout and a possible loss of votes in November. Even God is a political calculation for Democrats.

You argued name calling was justifiable. Have you changed that position?
