Has anyone noticed-- and I'm not just basing this observation on the getbig political message board, that a lot of Obama supporters (especially the black ones) take any and all criticism directed at Obama personally?
It's almost as if every single response to a legitimate criticism of Obama is twisted into a response by his supporters that manages to rationalize his short comings (Blame Bush xyz, Blame Fox News xyz) while personally attacking the person that made the comment (racist, homophobe, reactionary, redneck, bigot, uneducated, etc.).
Objectivity goes out the window when you try to discuss reality with those who have a personal stake in the Obama presidency. If the man who was supposed to change everything for the better makes everything worse, will the great social achievement of a black president become a dream deferred to his supporters? I think that the pendulum is finally starting to swing away from the PC zombies that are obsessed with the idea of a black president to the extent that merely occupying the office as Preisdent supersedes actual policy and the rapid deterioration of the country.
