Some Defend-President-Obama-no-matter-what-folks here will do anything to divert,

32. The thing is if you want to see criticism

of Prez Obama, you can find it everywhere. Just turn on your TV and there are the usual GOP reps or their media proxies casting blame on him for Every Single Thing. Just open any MSM print publication and there'll be plenty. On GOP-identified or leaning GOP websites, criticism when it is not outright factually incorrect (as it usually is) is predominantly OTT, with a distinctly racist tilt.

I like to believe that DU (DEMOCRATIC Underground) might cut the poor guy a little slack.

No, I don't agree with everything he does. But I also recognize that his options are limited. He erred on the side of believing that GOP Senators and Congressmen and their backers in the One Percent could be reasoned with. Had he had a bit more seasoning before being propelled to the highest office in the land at its worst time since the Great Depression (together with TWO major war zones and an ongoing war crimes facility in Guantanamo, all of which he also inherited from the BFEE), he might have assessed The Enemy (because today's GOP is exactly that - The Enemy - never doubt it) much more realistically.

In fact, that was the major reason BHO was not my first choice in the 2008 primaries. I believed that he needed more seasoning at the national level. Neither of my preferred candidates was even in the running. Once he was the nominee, I supported him and I support him still.

Given the circumstances he inherited - and given his accomplishments in spite of all that has been thrown at him and a wall of obstructionism such has never been seen in my 70+ lifetime, I believe that he has done - and continues to do - a remarkable job. So, while I agree that each of us has the right to criticize at least some of his actions or omissions, I find it outrageous that you (and others like you) who consistently criticize him here categorize those of us who consistently support him here as "Defend-President-Obama-No-Matter-What" pod-persons (not your statement, but my inference).

President Barack Obama is a Democratic President. I am a Democrat. This is Democratic Underground.

If we cannot consistently support the Democratic President here, where in the world can we do so?
