6.

But the impact may have been greater for The Donald because it made the issue he was loudly pursuing—Barack Obama’s birth certificate—seem so small." I can see why there will be no end to the criticism of the president. Did he hesitate, did he not? Attorney general this or that ... For all the criticism, and the hatred of healthcare reform, and the birther crap, Obama still got Bin Laden. I wonder if this will do anything to his approval rating, and his chances of reelection. I think Donald Trump should stay in the Apprentice. When it comes to politics, Trump is an apprentice. Well, Republicans will have to do something to top this one, because if the current polls are right, Obama is assured of reelection. Two years is a long time for politics to change. That is how long Republicans have to come up with something. Criticizing the president at this point is just petty-minded jealousy. But then, there are those who hate everything the president does, even the good things. 7.

Like I said, some people think Obama can do nothing right. Even when he does something right, he does it wrong, or it was not him who did right but somebody else. In reality it is not different from the Bush administration. To many on the left everything that Bush did was wrong. I suppose it is a reflection of how polarized American politics has become. What started as bipartisanship has become a political vendetta. Neither party can see each other in the eye and they work not for the benefit of the country but to block each other. The end result is that the USA is mired in political inertia. The USA has become incapable of political change because when change is proposed both parties go to each other's necks, rahter than working constructively together to improve the system. The health care debate is a good example of that. Now that Obama has done something right, nobody on the other side wants to admit that it was well done. When something goes badly, it is the president's fault. When something goes well, it is not because of the president but because of somebody else. It is a feature that started during the Clinton administration, carried on through the Bush administration, and now repeats itself in the Obama administration. 7.

JUST THINK if he hadn't? Just think what would have happened then. He really had no choice. (Or the alternative would have been stupid choice and a nail in his coffin. No matter HOW great that would be). The aggravating thing for me is that if this was reversed somehow, the Libs would be acting the same exact way, and would find it all just as offensive. Ubergeek is definitely right about how polarized everything has become. I'm just as guilty lately. 8.
