you don't, i do.
pessimism is a necessary counterbalance to optimism.
the literature on pessimism/optimism shows that optimists tend to be happy and successful while pessimists tend to have a more accurate view of the world.
based on this relatively "scientific" fact, those who are unable to find anything good about obama are more likely to be right than those who cannot find fault with him.
