You are certainly correct........I have no facts and am way off base here.
You keep this up and I may join you in promoting him to King, and will defend him on every issue as you do. Obviously, I unlike you, thought he was fallible ! And here he is just misunderstood !
You make a very serious misjudgement when you keep saying and insinuating that everyone who criticizes your hero is a Republican, or a Bush lover..I suppose that makes you feel comfortable but I can assure you from my perspective it isnt close.

a great deal that Obama made backroom political deals to push through a law that gives healthcare coverage to uninsured citizens, prohibits insurance companies from excluding beneficiaries based on pre-existing conditions, etc, and lowers the deficit by $143 billion over the first ten years-CBO estimate-. If you only support programs that did not involve backroom deals, that leaves very little legislation that you support. BTW, LBJ had to twist a lot of arms and make backroom political deals to get Medicare approved. Are you on Medicare? Also, read up a little on how Bush pushed through Medicare Part D in the middle of the night, and the deals that were made to get that approved.
