Ya know it's kind of like dealing with tyrannical little kids who pitch a fit everytime they don't get what they want. They try to get you to the point that you'll give in just to have some peace.
From what I recall, after the 2000 election, liberals accepted the fact that GWB was President and were pretty mellow for the next several years. Most even supported the invasion of Iraq.
The real anti-Bush sentiment did start until things started going wrong in Iraq and only grew after a series of obvious blunders. We really did give him a chance.
I somehow get the feeling that Republicans are NOT going to give Obama a chance.
