Anyone who can NOT distinguish between advocating FOR an issue or policy and "hate" really isn't interested in a discussion.
I strongly disagree with Obama's "Centrist" position on many issues.
I don't hate him, and helped get him elected.

Inside my home, and in our community here,
I will freely express my disappointment & opposition based on Democratic Party Principles on many issues,
and strongly disagree with the "Privatized, Free Market, Small Government, Permanent Wartime Executive Power" direction he is taking the Party.

In any local discussions and in public, I am a strong advocate FOR the Democratic Party and vocal President Obama defender against the bullshit LIES popularized by the Right Wing around here, the REAL "haters".

("Yes he has a birth certificate.
"No, he isn't a Muslim."
"No, ObamaCare is NOT a Big Government TakerOver" (how ever much I wish it was).
"No, Obama is not a "socialist" (no mater how much I wish he were).
"No, ObamaCare is NOT costing you more. It doesn't start until 2014".
"Yes. You paid LESS taxes last year thanks to Obama's Payroll Tax Holiday."
And ON and On.)
