I think one thing we should be clear on when “defining” conservatism is that criticising Obama is not, in and of itself, “Obama Derangement Syndrome.”
Of course criticism of Obama isn’t Obama Derangement Syndrome. We need to be right on his heels for the next 4 years, criticizing what he’s doing wrong. But at the same time, we can’t get distracted by nonsense like the whole certifitruther controversy.
