This is like the "rumors" that got actual and serious air time of Clinton whacking people mob style, magnified 100 fold, or the underground rumor that he was going to be the "last president" by declaring national marshal law and make himself king. Every president has some weird bullshit thrown at them that takes a swipe, via pissed off other party rabble rousers who are happy to somehow de-legitimize a sitting POTUS they didn't vote for. Party Politics run deep and strong with angst in a lot more people than we'd like to realize...thus crazy shit surfaces.

The crazy shit usually stays in the realm of the most die hard, with a little over flow to sometimes see the light of day in the mainstream...and there it flops around as long as the media, press, and most importantly...the average citizen decides to entertain it and bestow momentary or sustained credibility to it. Kennedy being Catholic was a big brew ha-ha, "OMG, he'll take his orders from the Pope!" That one persisted throughout his short Presidency. Find a President, and you'll find some attempt to scuttle them personally. If there's a chick you don't like, it's quicker and more damaging to make her a whore, than it is to list the differences of opinion you have that may or may not be a point of contention with the people you're trying to turn against her as well. Don't rationalize...demoralize and cannibalize. It usually helps if you can find some mutual ground to hate on, but it's not required.

Now we come fast forward to Obama...oh man...Katie bar the door. If this were the Olympics of Character assassination, even calling a past president a hermaphrodite, doesn't hold a candle to the Gold's being handed out now. Every past President should bow their head in shame for their weak showings...that shit was child's play compared to the jacked up, steroid riddled De-bashlon going on now.

Give me a day, a week, a speech, a personal quote, an action preformed, an inaction preformed, a triumph, a let down, and I'll give ya rumor...treated as news and entertained. It's beautiful, it's maliciously overt. Bush didn't have shit for character contempt compared to the A game being hauled out for Obama. Keith Olbermann you say? Bah, he merely assaulted Bush' intellect on policy choices. His Gatling Gun of verbose repugnance were BB's aimed at calling out Bush' decisions and taking a poke at holding hands with a prince, wheeeeeeeeeee. But Obama? Oh man, he's a freak'in danger to the entire U.S. of A! Because he's a socialist, marxist, communist, totalitarian dictator hell bent on...well...pick something.

Let me be clear. I didn't care for Bush, because I didn't agree with quite a few of his policy choices. I never thought that he was anything other than a man, who was President, who I didn't feel was appropriate for the office. I never elevated him to a position of loathing, nor contempt. He was my President, who I didn't agree with. I never once was scared of him. I know people disliked him. I know people hated him. I also know people held these feelings for him not because of his "questionable" religion, nor his "questionable" birth, nor his "questionable" allegiances. Even his detractors would be the first to agree that he loved this country. Maybe they questioned what that love entailed, but there was never a question as to his devotion. Obama doesn't even get a pass on that. "Everything" and I mean "Everything" is suspect. The game is constantly being elevated. It's going to go to far.
