RE: Why's it so difficult for some to accept Obama was a good president

Acknowledging Obama did a pretty good job, particularly considering what he had to deal with when he came into office, would be admitting not just that Obama did a good job, but also admitting that the Republican administrating (Bush/Cheney) had done a really bad job.
That ain't gonna happen. Ever.
But also, tens of millions of Americans are fucking idiots. They bought the Swift Boat thing about Kerry. That is, that Kerry, who was by any account a war hero who saved two soldiers' lives while also killing several enemy in the process, was actually the coward, while Dubbya, who never went to Vietnam and was AWOL for a year, was the hero.
It was a thing so ridiculous that most of us wouldn't even think of the idea of trying to convince people of such horse shit. But Republicans know how stupid their supporters are and it worked. Considering that, it's no wonder so many GOP voters believe anything about Obama, no matter how inaccurate or farfetched. GOP operatives now know they can say anything and it'll be believed to a great enough degree to make allow them to win elections.
You just cannot fucking fight that.
