Why Does Right-Wing America Super-Hate President Obama?

This will surprise literally no one: America’s right-wing hates President Obama. It’s not distaste for him. They don’t merely dislike him. It can’t be classified as simple disdain. It’s proper hatred by every definition of that word. And even as we enter the twilight months of his second and final term, that hate couldn’t be any higher than it currently is.
To a right-winger, President Obama is the worst thing to ever happen to America. His presidency has been worse than September 11th, worse than Pearl Harbor, worse than the British torching the White House during the War of 1812. He isn’t a President… he’s the Antichrist. He’s Hitler reborn. He’s Satan after clawing into the mortal realm and inhabiting the soulless being of some random hapless Hawaiian. Or more likely, a random Kenyan.
But their hatred for President Obama isn’t nearly as awful as their rationale behind that hatred. Right-wing America’s absolute disgust with our Commander-In-Chief is rooted in myths and steeped in half-truths, with most of their unbridled fear of his administration stemming from… well… thin air. Or however thin the air is around someone’s backside, anyway.Ask any ten right-wingers for the single primary reason why they hate President Obama so immeasurably, and you won’t hear a single answer born from truth. He hates America and wants to destroy us. He’s not an American citizen. He wants to start a race war. He loves our enemies but hates us. He’s secretly a Muslim. He praises black criminals and hates the Police. He’s dividing us.
There are dozens of wacky excuses they might provide, and most of them sound like half-hearted conspiracy theories. The truly tragic part is that they don’t actually know why they hate President Obama. They think they do, but they actually don’t. If you’re a right-winger and you’re angrily reading this article, brace yourself. Strap on a helmet. Put on some oven mitts so you don’t claw your own eyes out. Are you ready? Are you sure? Okay, here we go:
President Obama is actually changing America for the better.
Hey, be careful! Don’t slam your head into your desk like that! Aren’t you glad I asked you to put that helmet on?
The past eight years have set the stage for a true golden age of American progressivism, and we owe that in large part to President Obama’s two terms in office. If you time-traveled back to January 19th of 2009, most Americans would have a hard time believing that gay marriage would be legal nationwide. That recreational marijuana use would be legal in four States. That our nation has finally started a serious dialog on law enforcement’s treatment of minorities. That President Bush’s horrific recession would be quelled, and America would be mostly recovered from it.
Simply put, America is a vastly better place today than it was when George W. Bush was president. And while President Obama himself can’t be directly credited with most of those accomplishments, his administration did set the stage for all of those things. He promised hope and change, and while America may still be lacking on hope, the change definitely showed up in a
very big way. All of that progress scares the Hell out of right-wing America. And the fact that it’s all developing as rapidly as it is scares them even more. These are people who aren’t keen on change, and they’re getting a whole big heap of it thrown in their faces on a regular basis. So for them, President Obama is the perfect scapegoat for all of their anxieties in the face of progress.
Listen to any gathering of right-wingers for any period of time, and you’ll quickly come to realize that it isn’t what they’re afraid of that keeps them up at night, so much as it’s the hunt for new things to fear. And most of their hatred of him stems from that manufactured fear, rather than from factual information.
Remember when you were a kid, and you and your friends looked into a mirror and said “Bloody Mary” twice? Most of you stopped yourselves before you said it a third time. But it’s not because you were afraid a ghastly apparition would appear. Subconsciously, you were more afraid that it wouldn’t appear. You wanted to believe the myth, and you put in a small amount of effort to keep that belief alive.
The same theory is at work with right-wing America. It’s easy to find out that President Obama was actually born in Hawaii. It’s easy to discover that President Obama mourns slain police officers as frequently as he does unarmed black civilians gunned down by law enforcement. It’s easy to realize that members of the LGBT community are human beings and deserve all the same rights as anyone else. It’s not a question of complexity… it’s a matter of wanting to keep believing. Of standing in front of that bathroom mirror and slowly muttering “Barack Obama… Barack Obama… Bar… oh, I can’t do it!”
The real reason conservatives hate President Obama isn’t the progress. It isn’t anything bad he’s actually done. It’s the belief that he’s done bad things that he hasn’t actually done, and worse, their mass-produced, self-inflicted fear of bad things they think he’s going to do at any moment.
The truth? Well, that’s far less exciting. President Obama isn’t going to take your guns away. He isn’t going to institute Sharia law. He isn’t going to nuke Israel. He doesn’t want to start a race war. And as difficult as this will be to hear, no, President Obama doesn’t hate America. He actually loves this country just as much as you do. Does he hang American flag truck nuts off of Cadillac One? No. Does he wake up and immediately say “freedom” like Bush probably did? God, I hope not.
President Obama’s presidency is going to end in a few months. A majority of Americans will be sad to see him go. But it’ll be considerably sadder for all of those right-wing conservatives. They invested so much time and energy into hating Barack Obama, into tangling their brains until conspiracy theories spewed out. We’ll all miss President Obama, but right-wing America? They’ll miss him more than any of us

These are the things I hate.
Proverbs 6:16-19New International Version (NIV)
16 There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

Nickolai, you finally did it. You've gone completely over the edge. Let's review:
Race relations have been knocked back 50 years to the riots, looting, and burning of the 1960s.
The national debt is DOUBLE what it was when Obama took office.
The nation's economy is stuck in the mud, with the slowest growth since the Great Depression.
Hundreds of thousands of newly unemployed middle-class workers from coal mining, trucking, railroad, and utility plants, thanks to Obama's bogus fight against global warming.
Obama and Hillary have destabilized nearly the entire Middle East, resulting in the out-of-control growth of ISIS, a JV team that is slaughtering it's way across the world.
Refugees and terrorists are escaping the Middle East reigning rape and murder across Europe.
We have a new national health-care system that is exorbitantly expensive and a flaming disaster.
Our position of power and respect in the world is gone; we have become a laughing stock thanks to our apologetic leader.
Our federal government is now the most corrupt ever, with lying, cheating, taking the 5th, destruction of hard drives and other evidence, running rampant through the IRS, NSA, and Judicial branch, all under the direction of the most corrupt Executing Branch ever.
We have a President who never intended to lead a bi-partisan Presidency, who campaigned for his second term throughout his first term, criticizing and refusing to compromise with Republicans all the way; a President who lost his majority in Congress through all fault of his own, who then led with phone, veto pen, and Executive Order.
WOW, what a screaming success Obama is. You call all that BETTER? Maybe if you squint really, really hard, you might not see some of the mess he made.

When you plagiarize someone else's work you're supposed to give them credit. There is no way in hell that you wrote that because you can't think or write that well. You are a delusional nutcase and don't know what you're talking about. You've never looked into the information conservatives are aware of and when you're confronted with
any of it, you have a reflex denial and immediately push it out of mind never again to be remembered. Consequently you can't have a collection of dots in your mind to begin to connect them to see the big picture of truth. You, like a typical liberal are a delusional nutcase, out of contact with reality, and residing in opposite land. Reread the post directly above this one and pay attention to what is said. There is so much you don't know and the true fact of the matter is Obama accepted his father's ideology. Although he hardly even knew him, his mother built him up big time in his eyes. Obama is an anti-colonialist Muslim communist revolutionary and he's gay as they come; maybe a little bisexual, but mostly gay. And everything I have just said is totally provable. Why don't you put the words Gay Obama or Muslim Obama or communist Obama for Obama's fraudulent birth certificate in the YouTube address bar and just keep seeing more and more videos from there and you will learn the truth about Obama including a lot of things where you can see him in his own words exposing the truth about himself. He has made numerous Freudian slips admitting he is a Muslim and twice referring to Michelle as Michael. Repeatedly he has made jokes, always with total glee in his voice, that he is demonic, that he is the antichrist, that he is a Muslim, that he may have a third term, that he has nefarious intentions, and very recently at the White House correspondents dinner that that would likely be the last annual correspondents dinner and that the end of the Republic never looked better. And mind you, with total glee in his voice. Like I said there's a lot you don't know but my guess is you won't do that because you have no interest in truth but only in defending your misguided and ill informed superficial Marxist thinking and beliefs. You are willfully blind with an adversion to truth, and immunity to education, perception deception and defiant opposition disorder. In short incapable of being anything other than what you are which is a Libtard Obamabot. Read that list from EconomistDon in the post directly above this one. You can't deny any of those negative Obama 'accomplishments'.
P.S. sorry I had accused you of plagiarizing that article without giving credit to the author. I just noticed you did. Of course if you had written it, is you would accused us of being racist which at least that author had the good sense to not do.
.
That's the Constitution all torn up in front of Obama. The reason he chose to become a constitutional lawyer was so that he would know how to defeat it and he certainly has been doing that..

You sure went the long way around the barn .. First you ask a simple question as to why the hate , ok I thought , then you went on to answer your own question and then provide your take on it .. Well that was not in my simple mind a way to create a discussion but you are probably very well educated therefore have no need for a different view .
Within the statement above is my answer BTW , I would like to sum it up if you do not mind .. Arrogant / Condescending / Narcissist . are just a few without pulling out my bag of profan comments .. I DID vote for obama 2008 , my regret is overwhelming . Have a good day and YES ,,, you and obammy are peas of the same pod . Fool me once shame on you , fool me twice ,,, well you can figure that out..

I'm so happy that you are exercising your freedom of speech. Unfortunately it is my gut feeling that it will not be a right in the near future. Of course for you it will be, since what you speak is politically correct. I just joined this list but I am amazed to realize that you know the feelings of millions of people in the United States. Oh my gosh!
You should have been in Obama's administration because I think you do have the prerequisite amount of arrogance to qualify. I said that because II think you know what all these people think is amazing and arrogant.
I would sincerely ask you if you care about your life and the life of your loved ones that you research the state of Islam in history and today. History can repeat itself and they have not been unsuccessful in the past

Typical right wing misinformation. When Obama was elected, certain people saw it as the end of their reign of terror. After him, other minorities will get elected. Control will slip away. Things might become equal, finally. We can not let that happen, We must destroy him. We must make sure he does not succeed.
