I have a sneaking suspicion...
...That our first non-white POTUS has always been under one kind of attack or another because those who are attacking him simply want to poison the waters to prevent this county from electing another non-white person in the foreseeable future.
I've had that suspicion and I haven't been able to shake it… Don't know why.
It's called paranoia, and it's probably impervious to reality and truth.
His "feeling" isn't that unique. He could probably find mirror-image and worse @#$% poured out on Bush, Bush, Reagan, and Ford right there on DU. MrsSmith pointed out the Bush-Hitler @#$%, and I suspect many DU-folk firmly believe the Mapes-Rather slander of G. W. Bush's TANG service. What are the Las Vegas odds I could find - if I bothered to go there and their board SW has a decent Search function - a thread or two about the false, slanderous, claim that G. H. W. Bush won his Distinguished Flying Cross by ditching a perfectly flyable airplane? I'm sure DU had some charming threads when Gerald Ford died and when Ronald Reagan died.
I don't think BHO has taken a tenth of the crap-flak GWB did, half of what RWR did, and, IMO, not as much as GHWB or Ford. But this DU-fool can't see it because he agreed with it, and probably posted some of it if he was on DU at the various times.
