Obamaphobia made you ask the stupid question in the OP.
The answer is Democrats aren't, but in teapartybizarroworld, normal behavior toward a successful president is sycophancy (though I bet most tea partiers had to look the word up)
His approval rating and whether he's successful or not are two different things. Democracy is a popularity contest, not a meritocracy. The president has created massive amounts of debt, in ways that nobody can still blame on Bush. I'd understand 1-2 years of Bush overflow, but we're halfway through year 5; Obama needs to take responsibility of his problem and he needs to fix it.
I love when Obama lovers claim that the US is more respected now. That often means that the current leader is less likely to push the Pro-American agenda than the last guy. Liberals think our president should kowtow to foreign interests than Conservatives usually do. Obama is an appeaser
This might be true, but there's nothing particularly wrong with that. When it comes to foreign relations, Obama seems to be doing better than average.
I'm not rabidly against Obama, but I don't blindly support him either; I acknowledge when he's done good, the good parts of his bad ideas, and when he's just doing wrong. When it comes to Obamacare, the right
have been telling, let's call them
fibs (since
outrageous lies isn't PC). Death-Panels, tracking chips, using it as a scapegoat for layoffs, etc. We need a real economic study of it's effects, not ghost stories or exploitation. I personally know people that only have healthcare because of this law, one of which would have died without a pacemaker. Although I think the entire plan
is a bust, it's helping plenty of people; there are people who like Obamacare, don't fool yourself.
Personally, I think we need real Socialized medicine, like Canada. Obamacare is
not socialized medicine, mind you, it's just forced health insurance. Canada and European countries that have used single-payer healthcare have found it to be preferable; it increases life expectancy, decreases overall costs (Canada pays about half the amount we pay privately per capita for healthcare), and has social effects of promoting a more stress free environment. It's not just a social/moral good, it's good economics.
