I don't get it. Obama has blatantly lied to the American people with this insurance thing. On top of that he has broken a number of election year promises about transparency. He has played ignorant to tons of abuses of power in his administration. He hasn't closed Guantanamo. He hasn't delivered on the robust recovery that campaigned on. He is still using drones to blow up people in Pakistan and other third world hellholes.
I get it that he is, in theory, ideologically in line with you but practically the man is just another Washington plutocrat playing the game to save himself.
I have never defended the presidency of George W Bush because I believe that he is the antithesis of what a GOP member should be. Further Bush campaigned on nonintervention and broke that promise and a host of other things. I do not, nor will not defend his presidency and I'm a lifelong republican.
So I ask you...why defend this man when he has so clearly governed in a manner inconsistent with his campaign promises?
Obama is an idealist much like many on the left. He may not be a perfect choice, but by their reasoning he is:
1. A democrat
2. A minority
3. Always bashes the rich even tho he is rich.
4. Makes promises for give away programs.
5. No matter what he isn't a republican.
To the hard left results mean very little. It is the rhetoric that matters. It is the party that matters.
This is no different than the hard right. Rhetoric and party. Nothing else matters.

In before liberals invoke:
Liberal/Obama Supporter Auto Response Protocolâ„¢
1. The source isn't valid
2. That's racist
3. GOP obstruction
4. But...but...but George W. Bush
5. Haters gonna hate
6. Sour grapes- your guy lost
7. Repeat 1,2,3,4,5 and/or 6 as needed then insult the opposition for failing to support this great man, declare victory, and move on
I'd say number 4 will be the popular choice in this case......
The press and the public figures who promoted Obama are lying low as the tsunami of voter rage builds. Obama supporters are lying low because they didn't get their talking points yet.
Let me state for the record, Ed, that you and only you introduced race into this conversation. Why?
