The criticism isn't going to stop, no matter who the POTUS is. I don't get offended anymore...what's the point?<br /><br />In answer to your question:<br />As far as hating Obama, I personally do not hate the man. He seems like a pretty cool guy. But I didn't vote for him because I wanted a cool guy as POTUS (as some may have). I dislike his politics. He is a Socialist and I do not subscribe to Socialism or Communism for that matter. This spending spree is insane. I don't want him to fail because that would mean that we as a nation fail. Prove me wrong O! There are Republicans I don't really care for either. I really wasn't a HUGE John McCain fan, but for me he was the lesser of two evils. (All politicians suck, let's face it!) I don't think Bush was the best POTUS we ever had, but he certainly wasn't the worst. I do believe he had the best interest of our country in mind, but he made errors. Whether Obama is qualified or not isn't an issue because he already has the job. I am not a hater...just not a believer. (He also happends to be my husbands boss and he is not thrilled about that.)Democrat or Republican...doesn't matter. What matters is the good of the country. I don't ONLY associate with Repubs. If we all agreed all the time we would be nothing but a bunch of lemmings.<br />I do love political humor though, even towards the conservatives. Sometimes you just gotta laugh cuz it's all you can do! <br />:)frecklefacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095153217781072187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-61013529457644348042009-04-14T06:02:00.000-07:002009-04-14T06:02:00.000-07:00I can't imagine anyone being anything but desperat...I can't imagine anyone being anything but desperate for this man to succeed. Maybe I'm naive, but I go into each term with a hope that this person will do some good. Did I agree with Bush? Not in the least. Did I support him? Absolutely. <br /><br />And what irritates me the most is that some of the worst offenders are people that bitched and moaned about the over-the-top Bush bashers. Peep this ya'll: YOU'RE JUST AS OBNOXIOUS AS THE PERSON WITH THE IMPEACH BUSH STICKERS ALL OVER THEIR CAR.<br /><br />But really, this is an excellent post that I wish people would pay attention to. There are some people CONSTANTLY tweeting hate that I can barely tolerate anymore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142476352718903636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-20008237232842461322009-04-10T06:57:00.000-07:002009-04-10T06:57:00.000-07:00Thanks for your thoughts!!

I like when I can post things like this and it is welcomed and we can share our thoughts in a respectful way.<BR/><BR/>I do agree that he will be and even that he SHOULD be "scrutinized, and viewed through a fine tooth comb". My problem doesn’t come from overall criticism (even though it can get redundant and old at times I welcome that) but more so it is the extremeness and even hatred that people are spewing towards him in the form of back-handed comments and such. I have heard more then enough from even just people around me (though I won’t post any as that is not fair and a few of these people are my friends). <BR/><BR/>I do not recall this level of negativity and harshness with the last two Presidents, at least in their respective first elections. I never wanted to be angry with Bush, I WANTED him to suceed and prove me wrong. Maybe it simply has to do with the current economic times we are in, I honestly don’t know. I guess I just come from the mind set that it is a waste of breathe to be mean towards others and for people to criticize things that have no basis in the work he is doing and the political atmosphere and just hating to hate before even seeing what he can do is ridiculous. I would respect your differing opinions, criticisms, concerns and worries much more if you would put them down in thought out ways and not nasty and snide side comments that have nothing to do with the work he is doing. “Be more constructive with your feedback. What? Why? Why?” For you Sad Panda.<BR/><BR/>Anyway just my opinon, and OBVIOUSLY this is way I would NEVER make it in politics!!Wrestling Kittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215343504044584811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-72258881989538382482009-04-09T18:07:00.000-07:002009-04-09T18:07:00.000-07:00Ah - good for you for writing a politically-based ...Ah - good for you for writing a politically-based post.<BR/><BR/>My two cents:<BR/><BR/>I think politicians are like hidden pictures, anyone can see whatever they <I>want</I> to see in them.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the haters always need someone to hate. And, well the lovers always need someone to propel into sainthood.<BR/><BR/>I agree a bit with anon - all of this relentless nit-picking comes with the territory. Luckily, I believe we just might have a president who's able to handle it.<BR/><BR/>As you know, I'm definitely not an Obama lover (nor am I a hater)...<BR/><BR/>But yeah, the constant cloud of criticism gets a bit old sometimes.Ky • twopretzels.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779101791633740315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-9052744519141826612009-04-09T10:27:00.000-07:002009-04-09T10:27:00.000-07:00I agree with you completely B.

This happens EVERY TIME. Every President is scrutinized, and viewed through a fine tooth comb (this will continue to take place throughout his Presidency). Unfortunately, it comes with the job. Americans are DESPERATE for CHANGE right now. What most people fail to understand is that CHANGE takes TIME.

It took a lot longer to get into this mess than 11 weeks it is going to take a lot longer to get us out of it.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why anybody would want him to fail. It is OUR country that would be failing with him.

It's just disgusting. I don't expect, nor do I want everyone to agree with him, his choices or all of his ideals. But to hope that someone fails is simply amazing to me.<BR/><BR/>I agree with some things, I very much disagree with other things. I was the same with Bush and Clinton (and before that, I'd say I was too young to care.)<BR/><BR/>"My choice" has not always won, but I would never, ever, ever hope that "the other guy" fails. I don't think I'd ever be that closed minded to think that someone elses ideas just might be better than mine or the one I agree with.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453257493002278226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-14544795568157194132009-04-08T15:47:00.000-07:002009-04-08T15:47:00.000-07:00I don't think you're crazy at all. In fact I pret...I don't think you're crazy at all. In fact I pretty much completely agree with you, which makes it impossible for me to answer your questions. There are people who hated Obama to begin with and they are never going to see anything positive in what he does. He failed before he started. And on the flip side there are people who won't see anything that isn't the work of God which is definitely not reasonable either. I mean he's going to make mistakes let's not put him up on an unreachable pedestal. It hasn't been long enough for him to make major changes. I am a huge Obama supporter, but there is nothing we can do for him now it's all in his hands to make it happen. So we'll see what he does and if he can live up to what his goals are.<BR/><BR/>As far as criticizing Bush... it's hard for me to say he didn't deserve it since I'm super liberal. But the kind of criticism most Repubs are complaining about, like you said, didn't start from the beginning. It took time for people to see those mistakes as what they were before the super angry Bush-hating started. He had a chance in th beginning, at least from my perspective.<BR/><BR/>I also get nervous about putting anything political/religious on my blog but sometimes I just can't resist. You never know who you might totally offend. It's nerve racking sometimes.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187151463075117941noreply@blogger.com
