Showing Original Post only (View all)I trust President Obama [View all]
I think his every decision has been for the greater good of the people. He has shown himself to be thoughtful, even handed, moral, and ethical. Every single thing he has done has been to benefit the American people, and every single thing he has fought for has been in service for the American people. He has not been beholden to the plutocrats like the last guy.
Has he been successful 100% of the time in his fight for the ordinary citizen? Of course not. Like it or not, he has to work within the system that has been set up to be of the corporation, by the corporation, and for the corporation. Congress is almost completely bought and paid for, and he's had no choice but to deal with that. The president isn't a king. But his heart is in the right place, and we all know this to be true. From his community organizing days all the way up: He has always been on the right side.
It's saddening to see liberals condemning him for the crimes of the past administration. This man is NOT George W. Bush. He is NOT a liar, he is NOT a puppet, he is NOT evil, he is NOT a religious nut, he is NOT a buffoon. He doesn't deserve the treatment he has been getting from the left. He hasn't earned it.
I cannot name one thing he has earned true criticism for, I really can't I'm not talking about the bullshit criticism, I'm talking ACTUAL, legitimate criticism. Something he has actually done that was actually wrong. Sorry to break it to some people here, but there isn't anything there. This is the most scandal free presidency in history. Never mind all the accomplishments he has achieved despite the seeming impossibility of them. The opposition, and sadly, much of the people who are SUPPOSED to be on his side have been blocking his efforts since he first came into office, and still he has gotten more shit done than can be imagined.
Never mind those things. Even if he hadn't gotten anything done, what has he done so far to deserve the wrath I'm seeing? What has he done to make some here mistrust him? To call him a liar? To question his motives? I understand the media is against him. Of course they are, they're run by corporations. But why are supposed liberals so easily swayed by that media garbage?
Sorry, but in the end it just feels like haters are gonna hate. And I didn't really want to bring race into the discussion, but I can't help but at least mention it once here: Is it because he's black? It's possible that plays a part and it pains me to say it. Bush deserved the wrath. He actually DID THINGS to deserve the wrath. What has Obama done to deserve the wrath?
