26. Yes, it's complicated

But that doesn't mean one can't look at the overall situation, specifically that we have a massive fracking and coal bubble, and assign some blame to the current president and the rest of government. That would be like saying that climate is complicated and therefore we can't say whether human activity had anything to do with it. When people rush to defend Obama no matter what the issue, they are no longer processing or analyzing data, or making their decisions based on reality. They are merely worshipers. I don't know whether they worship the person or the "D" after his name, but it really doesn't matter.

He deserves credit for the good things he's done, and he deserves our anger for the things that he has or is doing wrong. In spite of Krugman's most recent article (the TPP doesn't make much difference either way), it does make a difference and should be opposed. It definitely won't help! When Obama says that the NSA spying is useful, even though knowledgeable people have directly contradicted that assessment, we have to ask why Obama wants it to continue. It may be as simple as he doesn't want a terrorist attack to happen and get blamed for not doing everything to prevent it. It may be a lot worse. But we have to ask.

When people blindly support Obama or anyone, it's like religious people who won't question anything that contradicts their beliefs even with, or in spite of, evidence. Like the religious nutjob who debated Bill Nye, nothing was going to change his mind. Ignoring reality has a funny way of leading people to make decisions that don't lead to where they want to get, however. And just like faith in a religion, faith in a person, politician, or even a political group is an off switch for the brain.
