You don't understand the extent of my dislike for what he (Obama) is doing to this country. The only way it will stop, or change, is for everything he want's to 'change', fails.
I'm often amazed at the hatred of our President in spite of his many successes? It can't be based on what is happening in America, it must rather be an aspect of the personality of the haters. Consider the piece below or consider how well America is doing since 2007/08 and you know reason and rationality have no place for the hateful person.
"Of all the myths and falsehoods that Republicans have spread about President Obama, the most pernicious and long-lasting is that the $832 billion stimulus package did not work. Since 2009, Republican lawmakers have inextricably linked the words failed and stimulus, and last week, five years after passage of the Recovery Act, they dusted off their old playbook again....
The stimulus could have done more good had it been bigger and more carefully constructed. But put simply, it prevented a second recession that could have turned into a depression. It created or saved an average of 1.6 million jobs a year for four years. (There are the jobs, Mr. Boehner.) It raised the nations economic output by 2 to 3 percent from 2009 to 2011. It prevented a significant increase in poverty without it, 5.3 million additional people would have become poor in 2010."

The above bolded is obviously an Freudian slip, ending the sentence with a question mark. The stimulus package did do some short term good but in my opinion it did some very bad things for the future. Was it a failure, I guess it depends if one were able to get to a government teat or not. Did it increase employment? Not apparently. Did it fix our infrastructure, again not apparently. What it apparently fixed was a depression that never happened and may never had happened. But there are other things. The NSA spying, if this were Bush the left would be apoplectic and rightfully so. The killing of Americans without due process how do we allow that to happen? And now the new rooms and the FCC.
It ain't hatred for Obama for most people. It is hatred of what he had done to the country to which we may never recovery. YOU make it about him, being black gives him the perfect OUT. How many people were rooting for Wilson to win the Super Bowl? They didn't give a crap about his color they wanted to see results. At the very least I thought electing Obama would unite the country but because of HIM the exact opposite happened. The "police acted stupidly." "if I had a son he would look like Trayvon." He is not a uniter he only inspires with his rhetoric not action.
