In reply to the discussion: I trust President Obama [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)and just because you make a criticism does not mean it is automatically valid and we all have to agree. That is the position some here take. We are called worshippers just because we question it. Then if we look into things further and find we agree with President Obama rather than the critic, we are accused of being paid.
It's not unlikely that President Obama will be more persuasive on an issue to a person who voted for him than on the say so of random message board critics that he is wrong on something. Most of the criticism here seems predicated on the idea that presidents are all powerful or always corrupt just by virtue of having been elected, succeeding in American politics. We don't have to follow that in lockstep.
I'm not all the names I have been called, but a person who generally agrees with Obama on political issues anyway, and finds him to be a measured and informed person and just plain finds him more credible and convincing than the people on the message boards with their hair on fire. I'm tired of not being allowed to even raise an issue defending ridiculous criticisms that are lacking in logic and full of emotional and uninformed reaction on a Democratic Board.
