8. It has a lot to do with the disastrous Republican failure under Bush

May 2012

Republicans desperately wanted a do-over after Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress essentially wrecked the country. They didn't want Obama to succeed after their horrible failure. That would make it look like Republican ideas are idiotic and that they are unworthy to govern. I.e., the truth would have been revealed. So they had to sabotage Obama and the Democrats to try to make sure they failed too.

Is there racism there? Sure. But it's a lot, perhaps mostly, about humiliation over George W. Bush and the economic free fall their policies created. Assholes can never admit it when they are wrong. They are dishonest, and they never learn anything. Seem familiar?
