Mixed with a phony ideology of the constitution, freedom, and liberty. With a misguided hatred of all government services and government regulations. A blind hatred of welfare and the government helping anyone. With a tendency to believe conspiracy theories and corporate lies.

However, to our President's credit, he has had the most obstructive and petulant Congress to deal with (read: Republicans) in modern history, and they have only worked at one thing over the past 6 years, and that is to make this President unsuccessful.

Thinking people (a minority of Americans) know this and always have known this. The results of this poll is like saying FOX News is the best source of information on cable television because it has the highest ratings. Only an idiot would believe such a thing.
It never takes long. It was post number 8 this time. I knew I'd see this before I even opened the thread.

Liberal/Obama Supporter Auto Response Protocol™

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. The insurance companies are at fault, Obama didn't lie
8. Repeat 1,2,3,4,5, 6 and/or 7 as needed then insult the opposition for failing to support this great man, declare victory, and move on


Would any rObot who claims GOP obstruction care to comment on Mr. Obama's foreign policy? Right- didn't think so.

Unless so etching extremely bad happens, soon, he'll easily be among the top half of presidents, and certainly the top one in my 37 years.
I'll concede that Boehner is a clown but are you freekin kidding? We have a POTUS who started off his tenure by commenting on a disorderly conduct arrest of his black friend live on national TV without knowing all of the facts. In doing so he ignited a national firestorm and then had to invite the officer (who had done nothing wrong) to the WH for a beer in an incredibly lame and embarrassing attempt to defuse the situation. Since then it's been one scandal, gaffe, or eff up after another. "Obama" and "leader" don't belong in the same sentence unless words such as "epic failure" are also in that sentence.

heck, there are still people on this forum that believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya.
Well you can include the First Embarrassment Of The United States in the ranks of those people.

Epic Failure, would be just a start. And we can go on from there.

No we don't.

And in any event the arrest of Professor Gates was clearly unconstitutional, which is why he was released, and all charges were dropped, before Obama had commented on the matter.

Yeah, it's really idiotic that the exact same people who defended the police in that case, also defended Cliven Bundy. Racism has become the de facto standard on the right, and it's been sad to see.

Very true. Lets start with the lies and distortions that got us into Iraq in the first place.

Nailed it. The rest of his posts could be as easily deconstructed, but really, why bother?

Yep. With the election of this president the far right has shown their true colors.

It will take more than two terms to clean up the Bush Legacy. It may very likely never be cleaned up, such is the level of hatred inspired by our invasion and occupation of Iraq that created the conflagration that Pres. Obama inherited.

I don't expect you to understand, but there ya go.
