Does Obama hate America?

Wow, that source could use a V8.

Mind as well hit fox or MS'___'.

Lol, that is the source you choose to call out?

Politifact calls out both sides.

No, just saying most news is slanted - politico depends on the month, lol. Some months it's more conservative, others more liberal.

It's in my own reading list, and it's not on the 'good' or 'bad' list. To me, it's on the 'fence' - I just take it all with a grain of salt.

I do wish that reporters, were actually more reporters, than paid piece deliverers.

He hates America the way Soros hates America, but they both use whatever capitalist AND socialist means they can to destroy it.

Yes, but there has been a swing away from respect. It used to be that the office of the president was respected, regardless of political party. Policies were disagreed with but there was debate, courtesy and common ground in some cases.

Line that up with the budget fiasco's of recent years and the rhetoric and sheer utter contempt and polarisation displayed first against Bush, and now Obama.

We still get a lot of that behind closed doors. But what sells to the public these days is mandates of opposition to the other side. This is why I'm actually quite happy someone like McConnell is in the position he's in. We need people like him that are quiet back door deal makers to cut through the public rhetoric of opposition.

At the end of the day Congress is Hollywood for ugly people. They're all actors trying to sell you on a specific viewpoint, and very little of what is said in public has any bearing on actions behind closed doors.

As far as the Bush/Obama stuff goes, I find it very interesting since Bush and Obama have been the same on every single major policy. The only thing that has changed is whose doing the attacking and defending. The policies never changed.

That's so cute.....you actually think he hates the rich, bankers and CEOs. QE really hurt them, didnt it? Take a look at his contributers. Always follow the money trail in politics.
