Has any other president faced the public disagreement Obama has?

[RNR]

Yes I think he is an embarrassment and a worthless shitbag. Now that we got that out of the way...

Several states have had citizens sign petitions to secede from the United States. Several law enforcement people have said they will not enforce new gun laws. Several states tried to sue over Obamacare. So has there ever been a president get the finger so openly in our history?

Obama becomes the Democratic Reagan.

As far as opposition from individual states and law enforcement goes, what Obama is facing now doesn't even come close to what Kennedy faced when trying to desegregate Southern universities.

Talk-radio-slurping conservatives always think the present moment is the absolute pinnacle of frothy white guy rage. Historical perspective is not their strong suit.

I almost don't want that to happen just because I'm afraid all the doomsday preppers would go out and create their own reality. It would be a butthurt supernova.

Fear of a black president has made this place and the far right go ape shit crazy. I dont care if you don't agree. I wouldn't expect you to.

In the future you could just save yourself some time and write, "Thatguy post" and we'll all know it was you claiming racism.

I haven't read the thread, but no.

The scope of the disagreement Obama's faced has been pretty small, since his approval ratings are at his second-highest peak ever.

The intensity by which people disagree with him takes me back, but it's hard for me to tell how much of that disagreement is over the issues, and how much of it is just conservatives disagreeing with him because he's him.

That said, Obama's been surpassed by previous Presidents on all those grounds mentioned in the OP. Including states wanting to secede. Since, you know, back in the 1800s, about half the country actually did.

As you and the rest of the knuckle walkers in DC could do claiming race has nothing to do with the far right radicals hatred of the POTUS. For record I never said ALL republicans just far right radicals. If you and the rest of the clowns in DC would stop being such sensative little ****s you would of taken note of that .

You've obviously chosen to ignore the intense hatred the far Right had towards Bill Clinton. Why is that? Is there some agenda you're trying to push?

Everything isn't about race. It's often just about extreme positions.

If you are a liberal everything IS about race. In fact, all they think about is race.

He's the most divisive President since Abraham Lincoln. There have been others who have faced a lot of public criticism, but presidents like Clinton and Bush were trying to work with their opposition.

Now, is he being devisive or just sticking to his principals? If it's the latter, then I'd hope our lib friends would give the same consideration to the "far right nutjobs"...

Or spite.

Let's not forget spite. I know we like to pretend the opposition to Obama is all-principle, all-the-time, but the reality's far from that.
