It strikes me as concerning... a lot of people say they hate Obama, and that it's not because he's black. Yet they can't say WHY they hate him. This includes my own mother, who says "I just do - he scares me." I'd REALLY like to have some kind of informed, educated reason why one hates Obama. Really. Not because I'm judging, but because I'm confused. Honestly. Everyone has a right to like who they wanna like and dislike who they don't, but I don't think I have ever heard so many people have the same vague hatefulness towards any politician ever before. So, guys, why?

For me, I don't hate Obama, I fear him for what he might do and thats for the staff he's put together and for the people he's admitted to turning to for advice.

My mom feels he's too slick. Like Bill Clinton, without the "aw, shucks." simplicity.

For myself (I didn't vote for him) I'm willing to give him 4 years. Then we'll see.

Well I don't hate OBAMA. I posted a few articles about some of his choices & what world leaders are saying...it looks like the clinton administration without the clintons.

OBAMA ran on change but socialistic communism is not what I want to see my govt. turn into. I must say that I am feeling bit bit mixed because I want to believe the best but everything is pointing to the same old business as usual with OBAMA being played by his own party. I hope that does not materialize...but we'll see.

BTW...many people have posted legit concerns & as usual they are being ignored by lefties here who just want to start fights & call names to avoid any accountability or defend their indefensable positions. That would mean actually coming up with ideas that work & they want none of that.

I see the exact same thing from both sides

Its easier to discredit and destroy anyone who disagrees

Uh no...pointing out the obvious is not attacking posters. LIBS here do nothing but point fingers to avoid any accountability.

That's the LIB way... I post articles & they have something to say about that as well. Maybe they need to gorw up instead of posting about SARAH or BUSH with their hateful comments.

They do EVERYTHING to avoid accountability. Well now they will be the targets when they mess up or want to rob our nation of it's freedoms & dignity.

I can kind of see the "too slick" as logical... though just barely.

This is quite opinionated, but not very educational. Obviously you don't like him... but why? The question is still unanswered to satisfaction.


For me, I don't hate Obama, I fear him for what he might do and thats for the staff he's put together and for the people he's admitted to turning to for advice.


Thank-you for giving a more detailed answer.

Quikstepper, you do realize you're doing the exact same thing you claim the "LIBS" do, right? Re-read your posts. Hypocracy does not look well on anyone, be they liberal or conservative.
