56. Not for nothing, but this is not someone who lacks in people criticizing him

this is a decent, intelligent, thoughtful man, and in reality a pretty good President.

He has dealt with the most virulently partisan and oppositional congress, probably in our country's history.

He has been relentlessly attacked by the Republican, literally since before he took office, and by extension negatively framed by the mass media.

AND, his party has been nearly worthless in protecting his flank or providing him cover, much less actively trying to advance any kind of agenda for him to support.

He has overseen a reasonable recovery from a historically bad economic down turn, repurposed and got OBL, passed the first significant health care reform the country had seen in four decades, has had no scandals or unethical behavior, and somehow has been so relentlessly attacked by the republicans and media is below 50 percent popularity in this country.

I actually agree that he is too cozy with big business for my liking, and I have had a couple other things I don't agree with him about.

But, Christ sakes alive, the man is not wanting for people who criticize him.

He's a man alone taking incredible and relentless abuse with, literally, no one fighting for him.

I fully acknowledge your contributions to DU, but honestly, you complaining about people sticking up for Barrack Obama in the 1/1,000,000,000 place on this planet where people actually do such a thing.
