I am a bit appalled by the constant (vicious) attacks on Obama while we are ‘at war’. They look damned unpatriotic to me. Ordinarily our nation has unified when we have been attacked. Terrorists or Nazis — one does not attack the Commander-in-Chief defending us. I recall some unease among the Republicans about Roosevelt assisting the Brits — until we were hit ourselves on December 7. Then we pulled together. And there were some Hitler supporters among us, too. But they shut up quickly — a Bush doing business with the Nazi corporations fully involved by then in anti-Semitism.
I am going to leave this blog short. I have no desire to attack Republicans in detail. But with eyes, one can see. Hopefully it will stop. Obama has made every effort to reach out.
And so it is going.

They treated him as Commander-in-Chief.
You, my friend, are delusional.
Mr. Kent, you are right. The country unified and supported Bush in the time-honored way because we TRUSTED him!
It’s become apparent that he lied and our trust was misplaced. HE BETRAYED his position as Commander-in-Chief and he BETRAYED this country. And that is what has opened the door to much of this current criticism.
And of course the Bush supporters are very poor losers and are obviously spending the next four years bashing him full time.
(I support our troops and that’s why I despise Bush. He “used” them. And us.)
