It's hate. Period.

298. Total crock of an OP.

Who's at the PS Helm this month?

I don't hate Obama. I don't think he is very effective. I think he is unable to learn from his mistakes. I think he worships the ideas of the neocons. I think he runs liberal and administers corporate.

On the other hand. He's personable. He has the greatest wife in the country. I don't think he wanted to move the country five steps to the right, but did so because he lacked skills and a feel for people. He is far more corporate friendly than people friendly. He doesn't fake caring as well as Clinton did so it shows up more. And he is a hell of a lot better than the corpse and the goon who ran against him in the elections.

To say that I hate him because I don't think he is as good as he should be is just stupid. How do you feel when I say that you only support him because you have no political soul and are in thrall to his every movement, in love with his awesome good looks, and feel if you defend him, he will be nice to you. That would be demeaning to you. You are being demeaning to those whose political and moral center is now swayed by looks or fame or a good pr department.

If you don't think people should call you and idiot or shill for defending his rightwing policies, then you shouldn't (if you are being intellectually honest) call those who decry corporate and right-wing actions regardless of the awesomeness of the dude doing the acting.
