That's why a good part of his support base will always support him; they are willing to worship him even as he destroys their own lives.

I noticed you used "worship" and "destroy" (destroy twice) which shows the irrational opinion expressed by many conservatives today, in fact, the more closely one identifies themselves as a Teabagger conservative, the more likely you are to see and hear hyperbole as a standard template for any criticism of the President.

As opposed to his sycophant supporters, who never criticize ANYTHING he does, who have the same response to every lie, scandal, controversy, although it's much different than the response they had when Bush did the same.

I'd call that not only irrational, but blind obedience.

When the stars align like that an unqualified radical like Obama gets elected. The spending and Obamacare are a means to an end for good old Barry, don't let the door hit you on the way out!
He won the primary for a variety of reasons. Don't foget, it wasn't a slam dunk. But I think people were still leary of the name Clinton and wanted fresh blood.

I would have to disagree with that. I know plenty of Obama supporters (including myself, I suppose) who have criticized many things he's done...we just don't run around like chickens with our collective heads cut off yelling 'OBAMA SUCKS, OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST, OBAMA IS A MARXIST' etc etc.

I wonder how many people who are running around yelling 'ONE BIG ASS MISTAKE AMERICA' have complimented Obama even once. I'd have to say that statistic is much lower than the Obama supporters criticizing him.

Even if I say 'Obama did _________right', I'm immediately labeled a sheep, kool aid drinker, or that I have 'blind obedience'. People paint with too broad of a brush.

I guess for the Dems the safe choice was Obama. He didn't have a voting record to judge by and Harry Reid thinks he is a good speaker when he is not in front of black people. The opposition was Edwards, ha ha ha, and Clinton. Hillary may of had too much baggage. So we get to dazzled by hope and change. Can we get a redo? At least on the GOP side because I had nothing to do with Obama being voted in.

It is clear the least intelligent are obama voters, who have now smartened up a bit as they realize just how fooled they really were, believing all those ridiculous cliches and platitudes, all that overblown rhetoric and messiah worship.

"this is the moment when the oceans begin to slow and the planet begins to heal".

Obama voters just nodded their heads in unison, smiled, cried, sighed, fainted and repeated the ohm mantra, "yes we can".

Clearly, this kind of person is easily led around by the nose, which is a sure fire way to determine their intelligence.

I mean really, how many of his supporters on this board believed that spiel?

When I heard that and saw the reaction of his supporters, I threw up a bit in my mouth.
sanrene !!! ... Well Said !

Indeed it truly appears that only the small minds and extremely low IQ's of "DINO Automatons" could have possibly voted for HO & Crew !!!

The incredible "Foolishness" associated with so many of todays "Pseudo Intellectuals" is without a doubt a great danger to the future of this nation !!!

The embarrassing foolishness of those whom claim to be so intelligent is truly off the scale and is absolutely unprecedented !!!

Thanks / Old Sgt. Lamar

I do not like name calling of any kind.

We all make our choices for our own reasons.

Does that make us dumb??

Not IMO.

We all just know different things.

I'm very critical of Obama, but not nearly as critical of his Presidency as the one that preceded it.

Lies? Scandals? Controversies?

His administration was full of them. Did YOU ever criticize them?

What were you saying about "blind obedience"?
