I'm not surprised...Obama insulted so many people....he insulted disabled athletes, sat in church listening on hate preachings on white people, is now telling "black" fathers to take better care of their kids...(which probable not all of them will like to be told by another person on tv), insulted the police department...bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, lying during his run for the presidency (they all try to promiss things they can't keep) about his so called transparency and than immediately pushing unread bills through and sign them....no wonder many people dislike him.

Or maybe demands for impeachment or disclosure are being warped and twisted by little fascists into perceived threats.

That is nothing to the millions of threats he is going to get in 3 years - the threats of not voting for him!

it must be a nice life to live, just thinking that everything that supports your worldview is truth and everything that contradicts it is just plain made up.

it'd be a very easy intellectual route to follow! very comforting. womblike, even.
