Do whatever makes you happy, Richie. But while the Bush-faithful bash Obama, which will surely lead to the Obama-faithful bashing someone who will replace him as President, all the problems facing this country will remain. In fact, they'll probably become even more critical.
Do you think that it might be in our common best interest at some point, for everyone to simply get behind whichever leaders we democratically elect and try to get them to focus on addressing the issues threatening our country and our way of life?
Simply, I fail to understand how people of either political stripe get satisfaction from the back-and-forth criticism and personal assault, knowing full well that the effect is to shroud and obscure the real problems facing the country and the very apparent inadequacy of the governance produced by this system.
