Yeah, I've been critical of much of what Obama has done. Here's why--

[cui bono]

87. How do you propose that acknowledgment to happen?

I don't think it can be that whenever someone criticizes him for a current statement or action that they then have to mention that he spoke up for marriage equality. I don't think something like that is realistic and I don't see how someone who is posting a criticism can at the same time acknowledge an achievement if it has nothing to do with the current topic. The posts are made based on something that is actually going on presently and on a certain topic.

A criticism of a certain policy should be taken as just that and not as a criticism of every single thing he has ever done, and the discussion should remain on topic and not diverge into complaints about the criticism. Comments should remain about the policy/action being discussed, not about the messenger or about the fact that it is being criticized. If it is defensible then simply defend it.

I really don't understand why it has to be so dramatic and emotional. I know why it is, but it really doesn't have to be that way as long as we're talking about the policy and not the man himself disassociated from them.
