re: #28 Racer X

The Right hates Obama - no matter what he does.
The Left loves Obama - no matter what he does.

The guy just cannot win friends from the Right.

Obama could use some tips on how to politically spin things.

Oh please. ‘The Left’, whoever you think they may be, have frequently reacted angrily to what Obama does. The lack of a public option and support for drilling leap to mind. For the most part he continues to have support from his party, in large part because there is no real alternative. To insist that love for Obama is monolithic on ‘the Left’ is a wilful disregard of the facts.

And when the President is criticised from ‘the Right’ for everything from the logos of his agencies to his Christmas ornaments, it’s ridiculous to suggest that the hate for him is in some way the fault of his ‘spin’. You said it - they hate him no matter what he does. What possible action or words, other than resignation, can you conceive of that would ‘spin’ it to his favour in the minds of the culties?
