There are parents who love their children even as they acknowledge their shortcomings. Then there are parents who feel compelled to pretend their kids are perfect, who rationalize any negative conduct or performance and who viciously attack anyone who dares imply their kids are less than perfect. "if you criticize my little boy, you criticize me - how dare you?!" Apparently that mindset isn't limited to parents.
The attitude among way too many folks here is that anyone who says anything remotely negative about the President is also attacking them and must be attacked back. Truth is irrelevant. Honesty is not only discouraged, it is demonized. And it doesn't matter if the writer encourages everyone to work harder to re-elect Obama, "he who dareth be negative deserveth the wrath!" Give me a freaking break. No need to click, there's nothing more below. I'm done.
