Why do people still love Obama?

Hero Worship. It's the same nonsense we see still with the continued glorification of FDR. I would say it is FDR Syndrome, :)

We glorify all of these mofos, from the Founding Fathers, to Lincoln (who was a racist and suspended habeas corpus), to FDR, to Kennedy the Womanizer, etc.

There's definitely a mythological and skewed narrative surrounding a lot of our Presidents, but so little of the real **** gets taught in grade school history.

I agree every group has their favorite president to hail because he did one thing they like...and they point to the one thing ad nauseum

Hardly - Reagan represents the old guard ideal. Kasich, Rubio, Christie, Ryan, Haley, Rand Paul... yeah, Reagan's all we have. :lamo

This is something I ponder quite often. The man has lied since before he was elected and continues to lie. He says things like he believes in Jesus however the "most beautiful sound I have ever heard is the call to prayer"...not the sound of his daughters laughing or The Star Spangled Banner or anything normal, but the call to prayer by Muslems. That is beyond weird to me. he also has done more damage to Israel than any other president and just last week when that freak from Iran was at the United Nations, said nothing about the inflamitory remarks made by that...individual.

Still he is adored...does anyone else find this interesting and confusing?

need more detail here...what exactly has he lied about? you say he 'continues' to lie...about what? what 'damage' has he done to israel? why should he bother to extend ackminawhackjob's moment in the sun by commenting on what the rest of the world knows already, that the 'leader' of iran has a few screws loose?

Oh, so when you hear a joke and say, "That's the funniest thing I have ever heard", you mean that literally? Like you stopped, thought about it, created a scale in your mind, and that joke won?

What's beyond weird is that you care enough about his opinions on a prayer to base an entire post around it.

Do most people not ignore him? There is a little saying that I am aware of, "Do not feed the trolls" (though I am breaking this rule right now).

His approval rating does not quite make it seem like his is "adored". He is doing ok, but adored? You're in lala land.

If the adage that people get more conservative with age is true, these people will be fascists in no time.

Been locked up because you don't?

Then you still have your freedom. Stop being such a drama queen.
 
I pretty much think coolwalker has abandoned this thread. Most posters here have rebuted him point by point, about Ahmadinejad, about Obama's supposed damage to Israel, and about everything he talked about in his original post. Trying to defend his points will only make him look more foolish

I am sure that sort of sentiment looks very good on a placard. I bet it gets a real response as a bumper sticker. "I like freedom" might even make a good lapel pin.

However, its an empty and hollow cliche devoid of any meaning or distinction.

yeah the support for Obumble was based on deep intellectual examinations of his qualifications

NOT

Hope and Change was the trite BS that the Obamatards swallowed hook line and sinker

I have never seen a more shallow bit of intellectual support for a mass infatuation for a candidate-ever

Nobody - including you - can pass judgment with any degree of accuracy on what was the reason why nearly 70 million people voted the way they did.

I'm scratching my head wondering why people still love Reagan and GWB - especially those who a screaming about the national debt. The damage they did to the US debt is clear, but it seems many just dismiss that and love them anyway.

I submit that a process similar to how the right reveres Reagan & GWB may be at work in those who still revere Obama.

I believe you have forgotten what the word "opinion" means...I am entitled to mine and you to yours. You believe yourself to be right, I will simply wait to see what history says and be right in the end. As for being foolish...is Slightly Liberal like being slightly pregnant? As for abandoning the thread, I am simply a busy person.

Yeah, you are entitled to your own opinion, even if it is based on logical fallacies, untruths, and nothing of substance.
