I think you're wrong though.
But more to the point, do you want people to post threads like this when Obama does something bad, like drone strikes, or spying on Americans, or executing Americans without due justice... you get the picture. I mean we could bring up other stuff like how he's appointed Wall Street to his admin, or ex Monsanto CEOs to the EPA, but that's old news, right? Besides, he is waaaayyy smarter than us and there must have been a good "liberal" reason to get Wall Street right smack dab in the middle of the WH.
Oh, and those secret deals he was making with the insurance companies and denying them until he had to admit it even though his was going to be the most transparent admin in history, well, we should just not mention those, right? Oh, wait, that was chess too?
Well how about the fact that even if you are right, and he is waaayyy smarter than us, he is not a liberal, he's center at best, how about that? You're cheering on a president that puts forth, enacts and expands on policies that the Republicans came up with/like. Just because he isn't doing the bidding of the bat shit crazy TPers doesn't make him a great president. He's letting the pull to the extreme right land him in the middle. Of course a lot of us are not sure that's not exactly where he wants to be.
So while you are applauding, remember you are happy about a president who is continuing a lot of Bush policy, got Romney's health care legislation passed and put Wall Street further into Washington than anyone else.
Rah!
