1. No president Um expcet his predecessor you mean, right?Two wars: Iraq was/is winding down since the Surge which Democrats, including then-Senator Obama opposed; the violence in Afghanistan has exceeded levels known in the previous administration (the number of military casualties nearly doubled in 18 months compared to 6 years).Terrible economy: umm, remember the sluggish economy after the dot com bubble burst, then the crippling attacks of September 11, 2001?High Unemployment: I thought the stimulus was going to keep unemployment at 8%? How’s that working?Deregulated industries, corporate/political greed, lost of prestige around the world, and personal hate: Yes, all of that was manufactured by the previous administration and didn’t exist at all before. Anytime a Democrat is in the White House, it’s sunshine and roses. Anytime a Republican is in the White House we truly are in the End Times. Now most of the media have been fair with him Fair in this case meaning biased towards him where they would have been biased against his predecessor. Where’s the Katrina like outrage among the newsies over BP pouring millions of barrels of oil into the gulf from an oil rig that President Obama waived a required environmental analysis for. President Obama rejected Dutch offers for help in the clean up in the first few days, only to change his mind 50 days later.Yes, he got a $20b. promise from BP, but what assurances and oversight are there that the money will be paid to those in the Gulf who need it most? Already there are complaints about second round applications for assistance going unanswered. For all the bravado about his handling of the Gulf disaster, he sure is disappointing in a post-partisan manner.And as was pointed out for 8 years by everyone from Nancy Pelosi to the the HuffPo chorus, Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Disagreement is not hate. It’s amusing to see the left have to endure the venomous rhetoric they spewed for 8 years turned back on them.
