Second correction. The third to last sentence. I can’t read/write today.

Should have been a “do” in the second to last sentence. You know where. My apologies.

I’m getting fairly tired of everyone defending Obama. Don’t get me wrong, the death threats are an issue. Whether or not you agree with the policies of a president doesn’t give you the right to take his life.

What I’m sick of is the constant comparison to Bush. So many people complained about Bush on a daily basis. And now that there is a democrat in office, it’s just not kosher to complain about a president anymore.

“What the fuck did Bush do for eight years, other than clear brush?”

Who cares about what Bush did/didn’t while he was in office. He’s not there anymore. Making a throwback to a president that you don’t like doesn’t make your argument for Obama being the next messiah.

“In a story that hasn’t been reported enough, apparently, President Obama receives 30 death threats a day.”

Apparently? Apparently? Come on now. Give some links or citations to some of these stats presented.

“In addition, since Bush took over, the Secret Service division has increasingly been under-budget since it was merged with Homeland Security. Meaning, it’s been stretched out. Meaning, that’s bad, since there are apparently way more crazies than were originally anticipated.”

This is some fine reporting. Again, any citations for this remark? I did a quick search for their budget and news of their budget, nothing related to them being underbudgeted came up (not to say they are not, but nothing found in a 2 minute search).

“And yeah, it’s racism. Genius.”

So all the Bush death threats must have been racism also? I didn’t realize that.

And if you’re actually saying death threats are merited based off of political decisions, you shouldn’t be near anything electronic.

Yeah, there are sources. And yeah, it’s racism. Genius.

Oh, right, he’s accomplished so little. GOD, OBAMA, U SHULD FIX EVERYFIN AT 1NCE, WAT R U STUPID NUTHIN IS HAPPEN. What the fuck did Bush do for eight years, other than clear brush?

And SNL is nothing but a barometer for bad comedy.

Racist? Are you really that ignorant as to thinking the death threats are derived only from racism? Did you know Obama is half white? Look outside the box wizard, its not his color that’s the issue, it’s the direction he’s trying to take our country in. Figure it out.

Link? Cite? Or is this like the Nobel Peace Prize where you’re counting death threats he hasn’t gotten yet?

Oh, and given that Obama has accomplished so little that even SNL notices, is the ‘work ethic’ crack meant to be ironic?
