*** Do you believe Obama has done nothing which warrants you going on record with even the slightest criticism?
***
***
***No one expects you to suddenly turn around and slam him day in and day out..
***
***
***But constant refusal to engage in any negative words whatsoever regardless of his actions can lead to certain questions...
***
***
***Do you believe he's done everything right?
***
***
***
***I would love to at least understand the reasoning behind your silence...
***
***
***Do you believe whether he has done right is so monumentally wonderful that it enables you to overlook anything he has done wrong?
***
***
***
***Is it even in the realm of possibility that I could get an honest and forthright answer as to why you absolutely refuse to put any criticism of this president on the record?
***
***
***
***His continuation of Bush terrorism policies, drone strikes, refusal to can Eric Holder, Benghazi, IRS targeting, the AP wiretaps, Syria, unconstitutional recess appointments, and so much more...
***
***
***And Rumor wants to talk about crickets?
**
**Are you asking why people don't criticize Obama, or are you asking him why they don't criticize him for the things you think he should be criticized for? It's possible to criticize him for other reasons, yet still think that your take on the things you listed is wrong and/or they're non-issues that were fabricated to attack Obama. In fact, one of the things I've criticized him for in the past is that he sometimes is too willing to treat those non issues seriously, presumably in an attempt to keep them from becoming too large a distraction. Hopefully, he's realized that never works.
**
**When someone tells you why they don't criticize Obama on whatever subject you think he should be criticized about, do you think "ok, I don't agree, but that's a legitimate reason" or do you think "This person is just a mindless Obama supporter making excuses."

*I am perfectly capable of accepting explanations without resorting to a "mindless Obama supporters" response...I just want some honesty here... I don't claim to know that everyone who refrains from taking issue with him knows deep down he's done some things wrong... It's not about what I know or claim to know...It's about what those who support him know and I'm convinced they know why they don't speak up when they disagree....And if they do indeed know that they have disagreed with things he's done, please explain why is it seemingly impossible for them to verbalize it?
*
*
*If people decide to say that they couldn't bear the thought of giving an asshole like me that kind of satisfaction, I can deal with that.. or the "he's done so much good, I can overlook the bad" explanation,....or C. D, or E... It strikes me as a lot more honest than silence from people who once were quite vocal about policies which Obama continued and even expanded..

*Gimme some truth... Something solid instead of endless dead air... It's that basic...

Haven't you left out a step? Before you ask this question, shouldn't you ask "Have you ever disagreed with Obama without saying so?" Elsewhere, you say that aside from Bin Laden (and I may be wrong, but didn't you say that Obama didn't have much to do with that), you can't think of anything he did that you liked. If that's true, then why should it be unlikely that the opposite is true as well? Even if someone does disagree with individual actions, what's wrong with that person thinking "Obama seems like an intelligent, practical, and principled man, therefore I trust his judgement to do the best thing possible" even if you disagree with that assessment of Obama?Followup Messages:
