Although inexperienced, it's as if he is the first faulty prez ever? If so, then so was OJ the first murderer husband, the first pedophiles were named Michael and Kelly and there has never been a criminally insane gang that sports white 'hoodies'...

All I've seen on this part of CD is pure hate so far, from both sides. This forum might have equal representation of both parties, but it is far from bi-partisan. I am ashamed to be an American right now. Just ashamed.
Well, long ago, we did away with respect for authority at any level anymore. Not parents, teachers, employers or law enforcement. And if we dont see fit to regard these lesser levels, why would the Commander in Chief get any better?

Praise and support are distinctly different things, I surely wouldn't praise Obama or his performance so far but I would certainly support him over any of the current crop of GOP front runners.

Just maybe, had the right not gone down that path more Libs and Mods would be open to discssion, but as we know, that is simply not part of the skill set for some righties.
OBL? Anyone with about 3.5 brain cells or more if told we have Bin Laden in sight just give us the order to kill him would do give the go ahead. Give me a break...

This was a political trump card in Obama's eyes....
We'd been hunting him for 10 years. People get all over Bush's case saying he let OBL go on more than one occasion. Read between the lines.

Because some people are glutton for punishment. Or they could be just insane, take you're pick.

One would offer that perhaps a change would be in order, when one has failed so miserably. Imagine had Lincoln stuck with all his failed generals, before arriving upon Grant, who won the war. Perhaps a prudent, logical voter would not accept failure and would seek a successful president. That person is certainly not Obama- he has proven to be terrible.
If Republicans are so convinced that President Obama is doing a "terrible" job for America, then why aren't they putting up viable candidates to run against him? The GOP line-up is like the reject bin in a cuckoo clock factory...Trump, Palin, Cain, Paul, Gingrich, Bachmann, Perry, Romney...not a single one of these individuals is an attractive alternative to President Obama.
