Exactly. I've repeatedly quizzed a few Obama haters I know about what it is he's done that justifies their anger, and I never get a rational answer. It seems to me at least, that anyone truly interested in unity should have appreciated President Obama's efforts no matter which party they subscribed to. The typical argument they come up with is "he's not really American" meaning his ways seeing things are not American. Of course, hate is just covering up fear, and I've decided unity is precisely what the far right is afraid of because if you study their suggestions for how to deal with our problems, everyone of them involves excluding people. And President Obama's big sin is his goal, clear from the first day he presented himself as a candidate, to be inclusive . . .
very unAmerican.
