If it were any President other than Obama, I’d agree with you.
Perhaps, and believe me, I hope you're right. ABO is just fine with me.
But from where I'm sitting, and granted, that's firmly behind enemy lines, Bush is still Hitler, and the ire is directed not against Obama, but against the obstructionist Republicans in Congress who just won't Dear Leader sprinkle his magic dust and make everything come out rainbows and whoopie pies. People are mad to some degree at Obama, yes, but not because he sucks, but because he isn't fighting the Republicans like some sort of lion tamer in the circus. And unfortunately, the northeast has a population advantage when it comes to a general national election.
