[quote]Here is what I don't get:

1) The three wars -- Republicans want to continue Iraq and Afghanistan and thought Obama was too soft on Libya. So, they must be glad we have three wars now;

2) Gitmo -- Republicans wanted to keep Gitmo open. So, they must be happy that it is still open;

3) Crony capitalism -- of course Republicans love crony capitalism and have been linked to far more insider green energy deals than Obama. So,they probably are only disappointed that a few dollars made it to someone else's pocket. Generally, they should be happy.

4) International reputation -- Republicans don't care about our international reputation and want to fuck entire world except Israel. So, they should be happy.

5) Patriot Act -- Republicans want to continue the Patriot Act. So, they should be happy.

6) Wealth distribution has been a failure -- Republicans should be happy.

Given all of this, I can understand why a liberal like myself would be disappointed by Obama. What I don't understand is why Republicans are not rallying around him. He should be the most popular Republican candidate.[/quote]

Actually those are all good points except for #6.  Using those metrics you can argue that republicans should be happy with Obama although I don't think you can apply many of those points to those libertarian Tea Party types.   With #6 however it is a complete non-starter because the wealth distribution HAS been successful either in destroying wealth or in transferring it here.  There is a reason that the counties around here have 4% unemployment while the rest of the country is at 9% or higher. Not to mention inflation, and that our debt has gone over a trillion.  Hey, as long as Obama is president, at least I can be pretty confident that the economy here will be good at least compared to the rest of the country.

And by "as long as Obama is President" you mean, "so long as Washington is the capitol of the united states."[/quote]
