I've spent his entire presidency defending him against rightwingnuts over what he got right (with qualifications, like a too small stimulus, etc) as well as criticizing all the things that should be to them and lefties alike.

What's been most amusing, is that the latter never stopped a single rightwingnut from charging me with being a BOG-worthy _______, and around here, the latter makes you a Romneyite/Paulbot/racist hater, etc, etc, etc according to some members of that group.

At first glance one might be a bit CONfused as to how two different groups could come to two diametrically opposed povs based on the same set of facts, but when one considers that they share the same motive, it all becomes clear and easily understandable -- they are both weaklings grasping at straws with which to put a man together with.
