I've figured out the hostility to the President, and its not "Obama Derangement Syndrome"...

22. The OP has not figured it out, he neglected to mention the most important reason why

people who worked for this President became disillusioned, and you hit the nail on the head.

He announced the 'forgiveness' of the Bush War Criminals almost as soon as he was elected.

The amnesia regarding this most important issue is simply stunning.

We were told in 2008 when Pelosi stunned Democrats by announcing that Impeachment was off the table, that 'she had to say that because we don't have control of the government, just wait until we get Congress'. Well we 'got Congress' and the goal post shifted to: We can't do it until we have the WH and the Senate. Just keep electing Democrats and we can hold the Bush Criminals accountable.

So we did it, we 'got' the WH, the Senate and Congress. And then we were told 'We are moving forward, it will be better for the country'. And that was when people began to wake up. We had been fooled, for over a decade.

Prosecuting War Criminals would have restored America's moral authority. This was such an important issue, more important after the Bush years for many people, than many other issues. But it was dismissed, kicked aside and we were told to stfu and just 'keeping electing Democrats'.

I don't think they understand the importance of this issue.

But maybe if they had listened to members of the British Parliament pointing to the 'hypocrisy' of the US regarding War Crimes, they might finally see why it was so important.

We now have zero moral authority around the world. Did they really think that War Crimes of the magnitude of the Bush criminals could just be swept under the rug?

It was that announcement, to move forward from War Crimes, which we would have expected had a Republican won, that began the total disillusionment of Democrats regarding this President.

They just don't want to talk about that.
