re: #639 Eowyn2

Where are you getting the “Never in our time has a president been so loved and so hated?” How old are you? Few of our presidents over the last 40 years were ‘loved’ at all. LBJ (hey hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today)? Nixon (tricky dicky)? Ford (bumbling idiot)? Carter (duh)? Reagan (was he realy an idiot or really just super smart - the libs couldn’t quite decide.) Bush I (okay but nothing to write home about) Clinton (okay but the letters home were pornographic) Bush II (despised by liberals and conservatives for his wishy washy stance on everything) So if you are going to give me the line that Obama is loved and hated more than any other president in our lifetime, you’re going to need to back it up. He is definately idolized by certaint groups and there are other groups that will hate him, but I don’t think it is any more than any other president in history.

Can you think of any other presidential election that brought so many people to tears? There were people dancing in the streets in almost every major city on election night. For many, it was a celebration, for some a call to arms.

White supremacists are no fans of having a democrat as president. But they’re even less thrilled about having a black democrat as president. If you don’t think they are hate groups, what are they exactly?

Loved? Definitely.
Hated? Without a doubt.

No other president compares in magnitude.
