We on the left wouldn't have to defend Obama if those on the right would spend a little less energy attacking him for everything and anything he does...

He passes a Republican health-care bill and the Republicans go into their righteous-indignation-primal-scream mode... If Obama were to find a cure for cancer the Obama-haters would accuse him of trying to put doctors out of work... The haters have one thing in common: they hate a black man in the "Whites Only House" and the fact that he is both intelligent and articulate really pisses them off...

But never mind that for a second... If the Obama-hatin' Republicans use their race baiting tactics and get into power with them guess what???

New Deal??? It's gone... It will be replaced with the Somalia-AynRand-Bad Deal... That's why we liberals and progressives are defending Obama... We have to weather this all out assaul by the ultra-right on the New Deal... If we are bale to turn that back then we liberals and progressives can turn our attention on Obama... Right now, he ain't as big a problem... I mean, not by a far shot...
