J. Wilson). So instead of a teflon politician for a president (that was Reagan - no matter what blunder he commits, it doesn't stick, his image remains spotless) we now one who must not be criticized because that would be hate speech. It has progressed from cleanup to preemptive.

>>>I have no doubt that a certain degree of oposing Obama for whatever he does is rooted in deep hate and racism, but no-one will ever admit that. The political situation in the US is so polarised and controled by the cooperate world and media, there is a very unhealthy environment for unbiased journalism.

>>And I feel that this unhealthy environment is further used to stifle critic. Just because some critics may be racist, any critic can be accused of being one, thus removing any chance of actually addressing the issue disputed.

>I agree, but I think its more about the polarisation between the left and right by groups that have much at stake, not neccesarely for the benefit of the general public.

I would agree except that I've seen it thrown out here as well...
