I thought this writer really pegged Obama. I do not agree with the entire article, as Clinton was a good president and nothing like Obama. The writer's attacks on Clinton show he is partisan. The writer's opinion on Obama, however, seems spot on.

And what exactly do you call your type of "cheerleading" for the Obamanation of an adminstration we have?
Blind devotion? No critical thinking? Facts do not matter and a party's stance is of ALL the signifigance?

I think you have made an excellent point. Just as when I boldly predict that my beloved Cubbies will "do it next year" when I know full well that I will not live to see that day, they prattle their silly, goofy, babble...surely knowing full well that it makes them look ridiculous and prevents anything they say from being taken seriously.

Okay, but I still don't see the rage. Perhaps the author's title is a bit misleading?

Well you all can go back to your circle jerk. I think I'll pay my mortgage and my outrageous health insurance premium. Then maybe read something thoughtful and balanced to wash the taste out of my mouth.

Grape soda is a lot more palatable a drink than Kool-Aid.

If you search my previous threads and posts, it is clear that I do not support an issue because of a particular party. I have praised Obama when I thought it was deserved just as I have criticized him. I have always been open about my feelings about Clinton and my disappointment in his NAFTA agreements. If a person does not vote or form an opinion on a reprentative's voting record, they are not prepared to praise or criticize them. Many on this thread, right wing in particular, do not really care what the representative's or candidate's stance is, as long as they have an "R" on their jersey, they are acceptable and their views, no matter how reprehensible, are cheered.

I'm glad to hear you are not one of them, neither am I. I strongly believe that nobody agrees with ANYONE 100% of the time on everything. You will find them here though,,,,partisan hacks who think their reps don't need to read any bills before voting on them because they think that if their party wrote them, they must be good enough.
