I’m hearing from points abroad (and mainly surprisingly from Liberals,) exactly what you wrote, DieHard. Their opinions, more and more, are basically that the Obamas are nothing but angry and clueless crap-disturbing one-trick phony-ponies.
Obama had LOTS of supporters here in New Zealand at first, including our Prime Minister. Now, very few will own up to it: they look all embarrassed when asked about him.
It’s sorta like they left their brains behind in their haste to cheer on “America’s first black president”. Except there are persistent questions being asked about whether he’s actually American. And he’s not really “black” — he’s part-arab-half-white. And it’s not certain that he’s really Constitutionally your President — nobody checked him for ID!
Mind-boggling, enough to cause a migraine if we think too hard about it. Easier to smile politely and thank our Lucky Stars that he’s America’s problem not ours.
