I like both of them from time to time but when I disagree with them... I get a bit angry with them. An example is when Will met with obama right after the election (2008) and then absolutely gushed in print about him.

I didn't care for his "gushing", either. But I care less about what he thinks of Obama as a dinner guest than I do about what he thinks of his policies. I don't recall Will approving those.
The same for Krauthammer who once admired out loud the political success Obama had achieved over something or other. He didn't agree with the particular legislation; just complimented him on how he'd managed to get that policy passed.
That earned him heaps of scorn here.
