Look brother, you seem to have swallowed whatever koolaid the rightwing media dishes out about all these people "swooning over Obama" and think there's some kind of messiah complex going on here. Typical rightwing redirect crapolla.
The Left (the actual Left and not what the media thinks is the left) is far, far more critical of Obama within the first three months of his administration than ANYBODY on the Right was critical of Bush for nearly his entire administration (they only ran away from him at the bitter end, claiming he "really wasn't a conservative" to help their election chances.)
Obama is getting as much criticism on his financial policies from his left as he is from the right, and more pointed and sticky ones at that.
Look, if you have beef with Obama's policies, great. So do I. We probably differ on the origins of them, and the answers to them, but seriously, the whole "Obama lovefest" meme is pure propaganda. The more you cite it, the less weight your arguments have. It's like if I said "Bush IZ Hitlerz!!" and then tried to say something cognizant about his policies. It's an unserious place to start from.
Not to say that a) Obama's canidacy wasn't invested in a lot of hope for a change of direction in the country, because it was and b) that his election was historic because of his race, because it is. But this whole "libruls will do anything for Obama..." is just a false premise to start arguments from.
