"You hear it everywhere. Democrats are disappointed in the president. Independents have soured even more. Republicans have worked themselves up into an apocalyptic fervor. And, yes, this is not exactly unusual.

A president in the last year of his first term will always get attacked mercilessly by his partisan opponents, and also, often, by the feistier members of his base. And when unemployment is at remarkably high levels, and with the national debt setting records, the criticism will—and should be—even fiercer. But this time, with this president, something different has happened. It's not that I don't understand the critiques of Barack Obama from the enraged right and the demoralized left. It's that I don't even recognize their description of Obama's first term in any way. The attacks from both the right and the left on the man and his policies aren't out of bounds. They're simply—empirically—wrong."

As I've said before: the Far-Right doesn't like President Barack Obama because they believe he's an illegal immigrant from Kenya, as well as a Muslim-Socialist-Atheist-Islamist-Communist. As ridiculous as those attacks might sound (to anyone who has a brain and his sane and sober) he's been accused of being all of those things (even at the same time) by the so-called Tea Party in and outside of the Republican Party. 

And the Far-Left of the Democratic Party (The Young Turks included) doesn't like Barack Obama because he's not a Socialist. If they wanted a Socialist President back in 2008, they should've backed and supported one. Dennis Kucinich was one of the Democratic candidates and Jill Stein did run for the Green Party. 

And then you have conservative columnist Andrew Sullivan come along whose obviously not a Democrat, because he believes there are too many Socialists in it and maybe the Far-Left in the Democratic Party, is not the Far-Left anymore, but instead now controls the Democratic Party, perhaps the hippie baby boomers of the 1960s and 1970s never grew up and still see a Socialist Utopia happening in America when they're on one of their marijuana highs, but Sullivan sees President Obama as that solid if not happy medium in-between the Nationalist-Right of the Republican Party and the Socialist-Left of the Democratic Party and decides to support President Obama and a lot of what the President is currently doing and is has been doing.
