I see more blame being put on Obama than I've seen with any other President. And it seems to have become politically correct (for Republicans) to attempt to block anything that Obama attempts to do. Then, in the few cases he can legally get around the anything-Obama-does-is-wrong crowd and get something done, he is accused of being a dictator.

One of the most ignorant statements about Obama that I've heard all too often is that he "wants to destroy this country".

It's hard to believe that anyone would really think that any U.S. President would attempt to destroy this country (whatever that may mean), but there are so many talking heads repeating the phrase, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, to name a few, that the listeners/followers of those radio "personalities" are accepting it as fact.

It's downright scary how gullible and weak-minded some people can be, and so much so that they accept anything as fact that their favorite radio personality preaches.

The scary people are the ones who don't listen to what Obama says and instead accept whatever others tell them that he really means.

I haven't seen anyone yet who is running against Obama for President that makes me feel confident in them and worthy of a vote.

What I see is people who want to win for the sake of winning and nothing of substance.

The problem is that Republicans want Obama out of office but can't come up with anyone who can show any signs that he or she might be a good leader.

That's what is really scary.

...i think there's a lot of concern with BO's crowd and their reputations that make some of the people (and future voters) very nervous.

I can't believe that there are people that listen to those one-sided right wing radio shows. I know some people who listen to those and those same people say not to believe what you hear in the media but they believe what they hear from a one-sided right winger. I bet those right-wingers ignore the improving economic data under Obama.
