(7,968 posts)Obama isn't free of the system that produced him.
I would also remind you of the compelling slippery slope arguments. As many of us older liberals know, we can not count on Obama or a reasonable person being president.
Finally, I take issue with your sweeping generalizations of those who criticize Obama. Criticism isn't the same as condemnation. In a functional democracy criticism is essential and must occur from the left as well as the right for all viewpoints to be heard.
I'm not intending to be argumentative, I just am pointing out that reasonable people can disagree. And that reasonable people can take issues with several of the stands of the Administration. Further it is quite naive to think of the administration as one individual. Yes, Barack Obama is a nice guy. His personality resonates with our own but one person does not a whole administration make.
