It's absolute crap. Obama is no different than many other president we have had for decades. Now all of a sudden, people are pissed with government spending after being behind a money pissing down the drain war? Billions going to Iraq, but now they are outraged? Complete and utter horseshit. NOt a peep about spending under Bush, but suddenly its a bad thing. Not a peep about the constitution when they supported the Patriot act and many other blatant things Bush didn't that was unconstitutional. These people only know the constitution (cough cough 2nd amendment) when it suits their beliefs. This president spends money on americans to attempt to help a struggling economy, its suddenly horrible, socialism, and they are outraged.
Sorry, for many people, its purely racism and partisan politics as usual.
Not all, so don't come bitching about how it isn't about those, I never said everybody is like that.
Then you weren't listening. True, it wasn't the rallying cry that it is today, but there was noise being made. I don't get this line of defense anyway. At some point people have to wake up, and I'm glad to see it happening.
