In reply to the discussion: So is every complaint about Obama wrong? Or some people just don't like to hear them? [View all]dionysus
(26,467 posts)"defensive" because legitimate complaints are often buried beneath a pile of half truths, old grudges, hyperbole, pretzel logic, and sometimes outright lies. it never stops. it started before the inauguration, and has gone on 24/7 for the past three years.
any positive thing is dismissed, and anything can be used to generate outrage. examples;
OBL killed : "this is awful because _____ , _____, and ______. his rights were violated"
DADT : "should have did it sooner\he really didn't want to do it"
Obama doesn't attack the republicans hard enough or say what i want to hear : "Use the bully pulpit!1!!"
Obama uses said bully pulpit, or says what people wantt o hear : "just a pretty speech!1!!!"
Iraq War ends : "he really wanted to keep it going forever" or "obama's scheming to invade iran"
random speech\press conference : "he's just like\worse than bush!!!!\ worst dem president in the history of the country"
and when people object to constant barage of bullshit we get gems like
"obama supporters are morally bankrupt and contemptible"
do you really think there's actually a *shortage* of criticism?
