33. Because he isn't taking the country far right fast enough.

Oct 2012

It was the same with Clinton. Once Reagan won and then Poppy afterward they thought it would go their way all the time. So they derided Clinton something terrible for putting the brakes on a bit. We still went to the right but not fast enough. He interrupted the neo-con agenda. They had to get the ball back rolling through the coup of 2000 and then 9/11. Obama is braking the agenda again and they hate it and thus they hate him. We'll have moved right again before he's done but not far enough, fast enough for them.

The fact that he's black only matters to the idiot base, the people that really matter use it but don't really care about anything but the policy and the money.

So, why do Republicans hate Obama? [View all] GulleyJimson Oct 2012 OP
