#1 Obama is easily the worst self inflicted wound on the US in the past 75 years.
How exactly did you expect the first American president to grow up not having had the American experience to govern?

#2 I might also like to know: "What drives Obama lovers.?" His Presidency is a disaster.

#3 Obama is easily the worst self inflicted wound on the US in the past 75 years.

That's a real accomplishment considering Jimmy Carter is the second worst.

Maraniss is a real idiot. almost all the comments about his book in the conservative press has been positive. Antagonizing conservatives never leads to success. Just look at "Law and Order". It was very popular until they decided to portray Christian conservatives as whacked out crazies. Then its popularity took a nose dive.

#5 What Drives the Obama Haters

Birth certificate, college transcripts, ghost authored 'autobiography'....Nah.
Oh, I'd say this little thingy.

#6 Since when did hate itself become a bad thing? It's as useful and appropriate an emotion as any of the others.

#7 ...they had no problem with it when directed against ~~the enemies of the state~~ their philosophical and political opponents. It's their 'New and Improved' civility narrative after they dragged that canard through their own cesspit.

#8 >What Drives the Obama Haters

A basic knowledge of economics is enough for me.

His Southside Chicago machine connections tops my list.

#10 Love of Freedom?

Love of Truth?

Love of Prosperity for *all*?

#11 Beside, I don't hate him. I just want him to rapidly fade into an obscurity that makes Jimmy Carter resonate like Madonna. Welcome to historical insignificance.

#12 Having no male offspring is definately a plus. Just playing the virtual devil's advocate.

#13 Because we're racists. Happy?

#14 Just as commies became greens, communist haters developed a strong dislike of Obama. Coincidence? Or perhaps changing the names around doesn't really fool people.

#15 He's not worth hating, that's the lefties don't understand. It'd be like hating bacteria or fungus.

#16 Maraniss is trying to get back in with his natural leftist crowd. They've been really pissed at him for actually, ya know, doing Journalism in his book. Conservatives jumped on the reveals that he inadvertently didn't whitewash. Bad mistake, David

#17 I don't hate the man. I just want him far away from any position of power in this country so he can't hurt me any more than he already has.

You say ObamaCare is not socialism? Well it sure as hell ain't the free market so what is it?

No, I don't believe he's a Muslim. I believe he is a communist.

There is one quote, I won't repeat it, from Jeremiah Wright that give me cause to doubt that Obama is a Christian. I don't believe a Christian would have said that and I don't believe a Christian would have attended Wright's church for 20 years.

Clearly, there is room for doubt about the place of his birth. If, instead of having the initial lawsuit by a Clinton supporter quashed, he had produced a valid birth certificate the whole matter could have been settled four years ago. Why didn't he do that? Is that not a reasonable question to ask?

And why can't we see his college transcripts? Any halfway decent job I ever had, they wanted my transcripts. But these documents are not required for the President of the United States. OK. Maybe, legally, they're not. But it's called vetting and the MSM didn't do it.

Finally there's the race card. It always gets down to that. When all else fails they always play the race card and with Obama, all else has failed.

Now if you want haters, I remember the Nixon haters. They were a special breed with a deep, burning, irrational hate. Payback's a bitch, ain't it?

#18 I, too, am a fan of the witch/wood/duck scene in Holy Grail.

#19 No, I don't believe he's a Muslim. I believe he is a communist.

Nah. Fascist. International fascist.

I'd go with comparing him to a crappy virus -- the kind your body throws off in a day or two, but while it lasts, you feel about as good as the economy of the last 3+ years.
