"I come to Bury Obama, Not to Praise Him." [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by cyberswede (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I think I'm seeing much like this sentiment expressed often here. It's getting tiresome, I think. Nobody agrees with everything the President has done, but I think the view is getting unbalanced of this man we all elected to his office.

Just my opinion, really. Maybe we should take a longer view and see how things develop and where they are going. The President still has a long time to serve, and there's a mid-term election coming up. The entire story is yet to be told.

Besides, A symbolic Brutus or two may be nearby, I sometimes think.
