Obama is a "domestic enemy"?

It seems like these nutcases think that Obama defeated Abraham Lincoln in an election or something, as if the shoes that are too big to fill were worn just under two years ago by Martin Luther King Jr, Thomas Jefferson, Mr. Perfect, Johnny Depp, Paul Thomas Anderson, Peyton Manning or some other icon of American success.

Our most recent ex-president cared about two things:

1. Implementing his own twisted vision of who should have what in America, and

2. Not giving a shit

Now we have a president who at least tries to give off the aura of effort, a president who doesn't seem to have an entrenched idea of exactly what should and is going to happen, but is willing to adapt, to actually try and execute plans which have the best chance of improving the lives of ordinary Americans.

It's almost as if Bush was so bad, so purposely destructive at such a high rate of counter-productivity that it becomes easy to lie on his behalf, or to delude oneself into thinking Obama started the Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan, the economic crises, and the mess of public education that is No Child Left Behind.

It's like taking over the St Louis Rams or Tampa Bay Buccaneers and being on the hot seat for only winning a couple games. That probably wouldn't happen. So why is it so with our presidency?

I understand that people like Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Bill Kristol, and the such are paid huge sums of money to lie, pretend, and act like jackasses. It's when ordinary Americans who have little to nothing to gain from such outrageousness start acting like they were born only two weeks ago in Sean Hannity's mini fridge.

On the other hand, there is this.
