(raises hand) I really do. He took on a crap set of circumstances, was elected by some people who were so desperate after Bush Jr. savaged the economy and left things in ruins, that they thought they could get past their bigotry and give him a chance. They couldn't, nor could the conservatives, unwilling to work with him. Several, like Mitch McConnell are on record as having the sole agenda of getting him out---the country be damned. In three years and while dealing with pushback every step of the way, he got rid of Bin Laden, DADT, and established a comprehensive healthcare plan, ba<x>sed on the model tauted by the Republican challenger---it was good enough for MA, but not the country ? Hypocrites. If Obama wins in November (and I will do my part), hopefully he can continue to do his job and the naysayers will back off. If not, if will prove what I've begun to suspect---that with the conservatives, racism will ALWAYS trump (no pun intended) patriotism and the good of the country.
