This isn't really directed at WRXlerate... that joke is actually somewhat funny...
...but are the Obama bashers worse than the Bush bashers were? I mean, it took years of failed foreign policy, illegal war, torture, stripping of Constitutional right, etc, etc, etc before people started to immediately bash anything he did regardless of its actual merit.
But Obama does anything and it's immediately part of some big communist take over plan to make America his own personal playground for some sinister plan.
I'm not saying Bush bashers weren't unfairly bashing him at times, or that Obama bashers aren't sometimes right... but it seems like Obama's detractors give it to the guy (who has a 70% approval rating 100 days in) the way Bush detractors gave it to Bush midway through year 7 when he had a 15% approval rating.
Frankly, Obama's done nothing even remotely on the level to hurt America the way the neo-cons totally screwed up the Persian Gulf and our rights post-9/11. Not even the huge waste of taxpayer money on the bad idea bail-out comes close to the mess Bush made of Iraq.
