I am not so much interested in shooting him down as I am in watching those that voted for him face the reality that the man wont be able to meet the hype they surrounded him with.
I mean really, unless Obama cures world hunger, aids, and the common cold in his first term, its going to be a failure. I would absolutely love it if he did indeed eliminate all those things, but I dont have my hopes and dreams set upon his success at it.
In a way, I really feel sorry for him cause I think the stress of all this is going to age him terribly.

I disagree with Obama on this. That does not mean I regret voting for him. I wish he had made different choices here, and also with regards to our relations with China. But overall, I am still pleased with the overall course of his administration. Please tell me this is not a difficult situation to understand; I think this makes a fair amount of sense.
The only way to be sure a politician will do exactly what you want in every situation is to run for said office yourself.

I thought you would be happy about this. Instead of shooting down those who wanted detainee rights, why not just say you support your commander-in-chief?
I don't think anyone has their hopes that high.
No need to feel sorry, he knew what he was getting into by running for president.

Of all the countries around the world, more than 90% of them supported Obama for president over Mccain. And usually by wide margins.

How is that hype vs. contempt for Bush and his party?
I suppose contempt for Bush drew all those Berliners at his speech last year, hmm?

It was both. There was hype because it was someone other than Bush

I can just imagine MobBoss shooting Obama with an Uzi saying "See he isn't a superhero, I killed him"

you have to imagine the prophet avatar to do so.
my favourite fantasy is him in a suburban neighbourhood, spraying "richard nixon was innocent" on a wall.

John Stewart on the Daily Show skewered Obama pretty badly a couple of days ago.
He was doing a skit where he was increasingly desperate to find a difference between Bush and Obama and couldn't do it.
I knew this was gonna happen. In fact I started a whole thread about it. I was right from the start.
