Because of my own personal experience? I have been reading the comments on the major papers/sites for long before 2001 (and posting on FR for apparently 4 years years longer than you) and I have never seen this many negative comments about Obama, nor have I seen such few defenders of him in the general populace.
Obviously it's a positive trend.
Thank you though for telling me not to listen to the MSM, WOW I hadn't ever thought of that! =P /a
Seriously, watch where you're swinging your reply bat.
LOL! I understood what you meant - and yes those comments would make us surprised because we hear the opposite daily. I didn’t mean to infer you didn’t know that - and it was good you posted what you read in the comments section - because it is encouraging. It’s those daily poll threads some post here that my comment was for - being feed the propaganda instead of what you commented on - real voters and what they think (on reuters to boot!). So thank you and sorry for the misunderstanding. Keep posting the comments!;)
