Before obama, criticizing the president was simply the american thing to do? Thats why conservatives have little place at the table of reasoned political debate....they're just shameless liars. Are we supposed to forget the bush years where any dissenters of the admin, were painted as anti-american, saddam groupies? They damn near sent the fukkin dixie chicks to quantanomo bay for simply saying they didnt like bush, and they disagreed with the war.
