Of course he's going to be criticized. This is not Barack Obama Echo Chamber Underground. Some of the rants I see about policy and/or PBO are more driven by emotion than by well-established facts. Yes, I'd like things to be different also. However, I'm a diehard realist about how fucked up Washington is and the Republicans in particular.

This country actually has people living in it that believe the earth is only 6k years old. They also think the ACA is OMFG Communism. That's why things are so fucked up.

I hope you hear my post with the respect I intend for you. I am not into snark, in general.
