Liberals want Obama to be a king, not a president (2012)
CNN ^ | June 8, 2012 | Dean Obeidallah

Can liberals ever be happy? I keep asking myself this question as I hear an increasing number complaining about President Obama.

There seems to be a Greek chorus of liberal whining: “I’m disappointed by him.” “I expected more.” “I thought he would be different.”

Earlier this week, singer Jackson Browne, a vocal 2008 Obama supporter, lamented that President Obama is “…just as beholden to the people who put him in office as any of the Republicans would be.”

Democrats wanted JFK to be King.

To this very day, they talk about JFK as Camelot.

You know the saying; If it wasn’t for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.

It’s not a king or Camelot. It’s a messiah they want. Not all kings were honorable. Just look at how many ended life with no head.

In Obama’s case his legacy is what turned his supporters against him-the lack of one.

BJ? He’ll do as a pacifier to the left. An effective, FUNCTIONAL republican minus the cigars.

You're not kidding. I was working in the hood shortly after obama was done and this one house, no kidding, had an actual alter to him. I'm like, W.T.F?

He already was a sheikh (Sheikh Obama, Piss Be Upon Him) because he ruled like an eastern ptentate.
