In reply to the discussion: Obamabots: Not Our Enemy: Cut Them Some Slack [View all]frazzled
(18,402 posts)a mindless insult that exists in the heads of a small number of holier-than-thou iconoclasts, whose incessant complaints about Obama stem mainly from their belief that, being "The One" who could have done everything, he has failed in every capacity imaginable. They invest inordinate amounts of energy in the belief that a president is all powerful in America, and has the singular capacity to change everything with the stoke of a wand, if only the will to do so were there, or if the evil corporate inclinations could be shaken off.
These appear to be the exact souls who are always placing themselves in the position of looking for the next "One," whether it is Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or some other as-yet unproven quantity.
We should have compassion for these "bots," who prefer to live with their dreams of imminent utopias in preference to the imperfections of the real world.
