It's really weird because one minute religion shouldn't matter, then the next it is of utmost import.
The press tried to get a juicy soundbite from some politician and asked him if he believed O was Christian (again, who cares). He replied, "I don't know" and they said that he had spoken about being one and had put it in his book. The guy was like, you already know and you're asking me? Who cares.
But, now that's being run out by the whining classes as someone being mean to the president. Spastics.

Fair comment, I guess
I'm just so bored of him and his non achievement. "Oh but he's been hampered by the Senate" they whine. Like he's the first ever president to face a hostile senate. His record on Guantanamo and drones is frankly disgusting, and everybody loves him except when the whole NSA/Snowden/Internet freedom shit comes up. I'll cut him some slack when it comes to his failed healthcare reforms, but the rest of those things I mention, unmitigated failure. Oh, I nearly forgot, "I could've been Trayvon" really? No, you couldn't have been, even if you did allude to sticking coke up your nose once or twice at college, you were no fucking Trayvon Martin. And given your former relaxed attitude to drugs, why are you happy to continue to make people felons, actual fucking felons, for possession of less than half a gram of coke? I'll tell you why. Because you're a cunt.

At the very moment he was being inaugurated (the first time)
a cabal of senators and congress critters were meeting and planning on how to "make him a one term president"

You mean he had opponents?
from day one? Now I've heard it all. Because every president usually has a unilateral mandate and is universally adored adored, no?

The way things are set up right now (and were 6 years ago)
the "minority party" can block things from passing and it is difficult to get through that block. During Bush 2's first term there was actual cooperation between the parties, even after he blew everything up! Not saying it was the best congress ever, but laws did get passed. Many fewer have gotten passed during Obama's time - but most of the bills that were presented to him were junk bills anyway.
However, I am not going to argue much about this - at the federal level it is crazy, but at the state house level it is damn near insane!
