Why can't america just grow up?

I love the hypocrisy of your question. You tell us to respect the person and not blame him. Yet you blame Bush, in the next paragraph. Obama is a terrible president. George Bush was a terrible president. The biggest problem most republicans have is Obama gets a pass for being terrible, while George Bush got bashed for years, and is still getting bashed years after for being terrible. Obama is not FDR, other than starting wars and not seeing them to their end, he shares nothing similar to FDR. To compare Obama to FDR is to compare Sherri Smith to Oprah. They are both black and are on T.V. Now comparing Obama to Carter is more in line. You chastise people for not like Obama and being single minded about it yet, in your last paragraph you say you will vote for him and not a the republican candidate, before you even know who the candidate is going to be. That is called hypocrisy. To answer your question, America will grow up in 2012 and get rid of Barrack "A lot like Jimmy Carter" Obama
