(39,961 posts)I like President Obama, but he isn't a panacea for every fouled up system in our government. You are absolutely welcome to praise him, critique him, and I'm sure he can handle both.
When you start bashing the people that live under US policies because they expressly criticize those policies ... That is a different ball of wax.
Mocking, making fun of people and generally being condescending because someone lives under a different health care system than you do (and one you don't understand) while bashing them because you support President Obama doesn't do you or President Obama any favors. I'm pretty sure that if President Obama had the choice of people that support him, or the people that deride, degrade, mock and make fun of people that have valid criticisms about his administration, I think he would pick the former.
If you believe in Obama whatsoever, you wouldn't be in this thread accusing long term DU'ers of being racists, teabaggers and birthers just because they disagree with a certain policy the President has put into place. You wouldn't harass and make fun of good Democratic Party members that always show up at the voting booth and continually tell them they are out-dated and unrealistic.
