It's really aggravating, frankly, to hear what they spew against Obama and knowing that their "base", along with some "indies", eagerly lap all that BS up and treat it as gospel even though they don't take even a microsecond to THINK about what they're hearing and whether or not it is actually true. They also have nothing substantive to attack him over nor are they actually even proposing anything substantive to deal with all of the "problems" they cite other than simply electing one of them POTUS.
