Obama’s supporters, not his detractors, are hurting him

“Before he became president, people were already naming their kids after him. Songs and poems were written about him. Women dreamed about being with him. Black men and children spoke about finally having a role model to look up to. Once he became president, a few public schools even changed their names to include Obama’s name. He was to be not just the Commander in Chief, but the Unifier of the World. Not even a year in his presidency and with no major accomplishment under his belt, he was handed the Nobel Peace Prize. The supernaturally high expectation trap for him was set not by his detractors, but by those who were too gullible to realize that he was just a politician.

With the economy’s continuous slide downward, the Obama fan base has acted more like stage hands for cheap magic show in Vegas. No president is perfect. But because they (the fan base) already set the tone for his term as nothing less than perfection, they have used every excuse in the book to cover up his imperfections. Bad economy? It’s the Tea Party’s fault. High unemployment numbers? Blame business owners for not hiring. Middle East policy utterly fails? Blame Romney for criticizing Obama.

When Obama went to the Middle East not too long ago to apologize and to lecture those world leaders how to basically conduct themselves, his fan base gave him every accolade out there. Later, he was praised for his “leadership” in helping to create what they called “The Arab Spring”.”
