I recall the rabid right hating Clinton in the 90s and making up all kinds of phony "scandals" at that time.
All that's changed is that these same haters are now directing their imaginary phobias at the current president. These people are mentally and emotionally unbalanced. It's pitiful that the GOP is giving them a platform for their hatred and acquiescing to their psychosis.

There were also people who had a rational reason to dislike Bill Clinton for his immoral behavior. Just as there are people who dislike Obama for some of the things he says and does.
I don't hate Obama, but I despise some of the things he says and does as our president. Like his pathetic, and disgusting race baiting speech on Friday.

One would need to have a more open mind to understand what the president was talking about and how he delicately answered stereotypes of the past and present, than some people of this forum have, of course, I won't mention member's names.

I understood him alright, he was trying to get every American to view our justice system thru the eyes of racial identity.
“There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life,” Jesse Jackson said several years ago, “than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery—and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
Obama: "There are very few African-American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store—that includes me," he said. The same goes for African-American men who have heard "locks click on the doors of cars," or seen a woman in an elevator "clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off."
As if blacks do not profile other blacks, and do not click their locks, or be nervous, if the see some gang-bangers coming their way. As if seeing black hoodlums is a sigh of relief, because you are black also. It's just those mean, racist, bigoted white folks who profile blacks, or fear blacks, or view street punks with suspicion.
The way to keep people from thinking rationally and using logic is to keep their emotions running high.
This is what activists do and this is what this administration is doing.
Emotions rather than logic got the Patriot Act passed "to keep us safe".
Look at what it has turned into a decade later...the US spying on their own citizens who have no connection to any terrorist network.

I believe part of the problem is that people such as yourself are taking soundbites out of context, and, that can be dangerous for other people you're trying to convince with your point/s of view.

Well FWIW I do think Bill and Hillary were mixed up in the banking scandal (Whitewater) but they covered their tracks well.

BS. Those same people who "disliked" President Clinton because of his immoral behavior defended republicans exhibiting immoral behavior.
The people who dislike Obama disliked him prior to him even being elected & it wasn't based on what he said or did. It's based on the fact he's a Democrat & the Republicans just can't accept a Democrat holding the office of the Presidency.
The same will continue after the next Democrat takes office in 2016.

While I have some limited agreement with your comments about some of the lunatic fringe of the right, you conveniently excuse, omit, or fail to mention the polar opposite lunatic fringe that found broad support from the Democrats during the two terms of Bush 43. There were many talking heads spouting all sorts of vitriol against Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice. Actively wishing for their deaths, spewing incendiary rhetoric, etc. I just wonder where your righteous indignation was during that eight year period...?
