I'm sure Bobert is right!

I'm an old geek and I've been around since FDR's administration. There are damned few presidents who have had to fly through as much flak as he did—Conservatives really hated him because he used the power of government to benefit, not their interests, but the interests of the entire nation, which was undergoing a major depression at the time--25% unemployment!

Yet, as nasty as the attacks against Roosevelt were ("He's a Jew who's trying a Jewish take-over of the United States. After all, his name is really 'Rosenfelt!'"—not true, incidentally. "He's a Socialist, he's a Communist," (we didn't know for sure in the thirties what a Nazi was, but they called him that too, despite the fact that many who hated him were Nazi sympathizers—interestingly enough!!).

But as bad as it was, it wasn't as bad as some of the hateful attacks being made on President Barack Obama.

Now, just why might that be, eh? What's "different" about President Obama?
