You always have to start with the fact that this Democratic President is black. That lays the groundwork for fears to be exploited. We also have to remember that this President took office just as Republican policies - both domestic and foreign - had shown themselves to be a complete and utter failure.
snip
Meanwhile - and this one is a biggy - what have Republicans managed to do with their big victory in the 2014 midterms? They embarrassed themselves with their grandstanding about immigration and DHS funding and proved that, even with majorities in both houses, they can't govern.
On the horizon are two potential major victories for President Obama when it comes to foreign policy. First is the prospect of a deal with Iran to halt their development of nuclear weapons. As you may recall, David Ignatius called these "the most important diplomatic negotiations of the last several decades." A successful deal will be highlighted as one of this President's most important legacies. Second will be an international agreement at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris later this year - something that previous presidents have failed to accomplish, but is a real possibility this time given agreements already in place with China and India.
I say all of this because, along with the success of his domestic policies, the fact that he is the President who killed Osama bin Laden, and that the people of South and Central America see him as finally ending the Cold War, Barack Obama is very likely to go down in history as - not only our first African American president - but one of our greatest presidents.
That makes all of the Republican attempts to obstruct and discredit him a failure. The ramped up Obama Derangement Syndrome is much like a toddler's ramping up of decibels when the adults in the room don't respond to their temper tantrum. We need to send them to their room for a time out.
