NOBODY HERE HATES OBAMA

[Skinner]

66. Maybe it's not hate.

But what is the appropriate word to describe someone who always puts the worst possible spin on everything the president does?

What is the appropriate word to describe someone who criticizes the president when he changes course and does exactly what they were demanding that he do a week ago?

What is the appropriate word to describe someone who -- rather than trying to understand why he might be doing something -- always seems to assume that the president is acting out of bad faith?

To be clear: I am not referring to the vast majority of people who criticize the president. I am referring to a small sub-set of people here. I don't know what is in anyone's heart, and I have no clue whether they hate the man. Ultimately, attaching a label or claiming to understand the underlying motivation for these people is not the important part. But if the point of this post is to argue that a particular label does not apply, I am curious to know, what would you call someone who does these things?

I don't know. But I do know this: When George W. Bush was president, I DID ALL THOSE THINGS. And frankly, I HATED THE MAN.
