Obama is being given way too much credit and power in the panic to discredit him. Cheney took at least as much heat as Bush did as did the "Bush Administration". However, it is Obama, himself, who takes the backlash for the perceived failure of his policies. Hmmmm. Seems to me if Obama is upending the Constitution then there are some Congressional lapses that ought to be investigated. Seems also apparent to me that one cannot restore a climate of job creation and employee retention without revisiting the treaties that allowed outsourcing and insourcing to decimate local labor supply. I decry the amount of spending that is going on only because it cannot, will not result in increased job production as long as a backdoor exists to foreign labor markets. I also lament that the bulk of the spending will come from the savings of relatively low wage earners. These issues are bigger than Obama or Democrat vs Republican. Addressing them, however, is fundamental to America's continued stability.
Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence”. “In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute,” Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”
Add a couple more into that:
They are racists (either closeted or openly so) and cannot handle being inferior to a black man.
They are ignorant morons who stil think he's a Muslim terrorist trying to take over the country.
They are partisan losers who cannot accept a loss in an election, kinda like the Democrats in 2001, but worse because the election wasn't close.
More people approve of the job he is doing than disapprove, still at a similar rate to those who voted for him, so he's certainly less hated than the previous president...
you left out an all of the above option. I hate him because he's an idiot.
If he's an idiot (with his Ivy League education and Harvard Law degree...plus his experience as a Constitutional law professor at a top-20 law school...), what do you call yourself?
Clearly you're not more intelligent than he is, so what are you if he's an idiot?

I am really more of a douchebag. if he is so great with an ivy league degree, then bush must be a freaking genius.

Can't argue with you there...
Bush was a legacy with massive political clout and a huge family fortune that the Ivy League wanted...Obama was a nobody with no clout who achieved his education on his own hard work and dedication.
That being said, I don't agree with the methods of the bail out and did not vote for Obama...but I don't HATE him.

you can claim legacy, but I can claim affirmative action. the word hate is not the word I would use to describe him. I dislike all politicians. they are professional liars. I have no respect for any of them.
