29. you are unclear on what is happening. when right minded people see Obama being unjustly attacked

they are going to spend their time defending them. We don't have a shortage of Obama bashers on this site which is pretty damn clear now. There are some who may well blindly support Obama. I can't speak for each and every poster. But what I know is I do have problems with our lack of progress on addressing climate change, inequities in our economy, and a host of other things that I'd like to see Obama spend a LOT more energy not only loudly discussing via his bully pulpit of the presidency but also by enacting every executive order possible and by holding DEMS feet to the fire as well as explaining to the American people in Republican districts what exactly the GOP are doing to sell out our interests to business.

If people were more like you trying to discuss these questions and concerns with a bit more calm and even temper, others like me might be able to focus on engaging with the issue on its merits. As it is, any time I try to discuss anything with someone who labels Obama a corporatist, neo-liberal, 3rd way, company man, etc. it doesn't get very far because they have already built up their religious belief system as well.

Some posting here have an unhealthy relationship with the very idea of government so it is very difficult to discuss rationally what might change when they have a default position of refusing to trust that ANY good might come from this or any other administration.
