    Do you realise how sad that would be ? Do you only look at sources that tell you what you want to hear ?

    He's an elitist communist, didn't you know? It's not all that strange, both extremes are insane.

    The thing is with Obama that the left by and large have defended him uncritically and have accepted the brand at face value. People were so desperate to get rid of Bush that they were ready to grab at anything.

    The right have crawled all over his history and have pointed to some very strange behaviour, connections and gaps. They speculate that he is a communist and/or islamist - it is hilarious to see. He is entirely pro US capitalism at home and abroad.

    This isn't true. The left has been crawling all over him, for everything from his choice of Timothy Geithner/Larry Summers and their close ties to Wall Street to his foot dragging on gay rights.

    You seem not to like the new American president . You also seem to want to convince people who support him that they have been duped. You are going to have a long 4 years (and maybe 8) trawling through your--hmmm--unusual collection of sources to make your case.
    bye-bye Empire, Empire bye-bye

    To find the real obsessive first generation of Obama hunters you'd need to look at the right.
    The view of the rest of the population is changing fast enough as he visibly morphs into a more devious version of Bush, or do I mean Blair. You think he'll have 4 years ?
