re: #270 palomino

There certainly was less hatred directed at Laura Bush. Maybe in part because she kept a lower profile in general. But there was virtually no hateful talk regarding her looks, as with Michelle. Likewise, hardly anyone was suggesting that Laura Bush was a racist or that she hated America or that she was promoting a radical agenda. (Is encouraging people to eat healthy food really any more “radical” than encouraging people to read, as Mrs Bush did?)

It is also worth noting that BDS was mainly about the misdeeds of the Bush administration (real or perceived).

ODS turns that around, and is essentially a derangement about Obama as a person. The perceived misdeeds of the Obama administration are really secondary issues.
