you know obama said after year one its all on him and the "previous admin" excuse should not be used. so i suggest you fanbois follow your leader.
I don't think I'm a fanboy I just don't like seeing critisism being doled out based on ignorance or media spin. You wonder why people rush to defend Obama, it's because the guy does not get a break. I remember those who were critical of Bush quickly being labelled and dismissed as "Bush Bashers" despite the fact that the guy clearly was not qualified to run a country - or a fucking McDonalds for that matter. Now people get free reign to criticise the Obama Administration and label anyone who supports it fanboys or blind, ignorant, star-struck followers or whatever.
The criticism isn't even all that
good. I like criticism and dissent in politics, it can be a lot of fun. It's why I've got an expensive and piece of paper telling me that I have a politics degree, (that is of questionable value.) It seems though that criticism at the moment comes from spin and bitching rather than actual stringent
points: "If Person X took option A rather than option B was the correct choice but if he took option B then A was the right choice." It's annoying. I'm not sure if I support the Obama Administration, at this stage I think his over-eagerness and naivety seems to shine through more than his abilities as a President. However when compared to the last guy? No wonder most of the world seems to think the sun shines out of Obama's arse.
Anyway I've gone quite far enough off topic now so I'm going to go for a run.
Edit: I think how this relates to my earlier comments is that it was a criticism of the current administration made with the issues over policies of the last. While those issues haven't disappeared under the current administration I thought it seemed a bit one-sided to be so unparticular about it.
