But when I see crap like this I think it crosses the line: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251266893

I just got superpowers and asked for advice on the mod forum whether I should lock that thread. It seems inappropriate to me but I don't want to be an overzealous speech suppressor.

off topic a little. Why is it that some many seem to gun for Obama?

Our president has pretty much worked miracles. Admittedly, I don't like the drone strikes (but I want one for a model plane.)

Also, I wish he'd built up a New Deal style stimulus to get us out of this Great Depression that we are in.

Other than that, I'd follow him to hell.

Never will a crazy GOP member support a good guy. It just is not in their morals.

This sure does not look good for the gOP who are all saying, "crap!"
