Most of the critics go after Obama on specific issues. When he does something wrong, we criticize him. When he does something we like, we http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8692346&mesg_id=8692346">praise him.

I've yet to see one of the so-called "supporters" post a single thoughtful critique of anything Obama has done. Anything. Any hire, any policy decision -- even any single statement. For them, it's all about sticking with the team, right or wrong -- and, of course, attacking any critics with "hater" and "pony" and (my personal favorite) "you NEVER liked him!!"

Both sides want Obama to succeed. Some of us just think "success" means more than winning an election.
