I'm wondering, Heywood, if you can accept a challenge that ATheist failed. It's a simple question: Can you elaborate on what terrible crimes Obama has committed to deserve the psychotic hatred that he receives in some corners of America?
You see, given the case I've made for racial bias (previous posts I know you're familiar with), you and he need to do a better job of providing a refutation than "nuh-uh-uh".
He mandated that we purchase the product of his fatcat friends in the insurance industry and lied through his teeth to implement that mandate.
Or to put it in a more rational way. He ensured that people had health insurance so that ill health wouldn't destroy them.
This is seen as joining with the rest of the western world.
It's still not ideal and what you really need is a tax to supply universal health coverage but you'd never get that past the republicans, who are just the political arm of businesses.
There is a reason that America spends more per head of population for less of a service than the rest of the world and that is because you are a country run by business for business and have been for decades, you can't expect one president to reverse that in two terms especially when everything has been opposed by the corporate shills that are the GOP.
Obama has achieved more good things in his terms than could reasonably have been expected of him.
But still some people don't like him for some unknown reason.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
