The attacks against Obama even before he has even implemented a policy or taken any action are a right wing phenomena.
IMO, they do it at their own peril of further alienating those in the center who voted for Obama and positive change.

I disagree in a sense. Criticism is broad of Bush, but just because his approval rating is 20%, I still think that the majority of people were/are not ok with the way people left of center tend to talk about him. Even if you criticize or attack policies, the way much of the left has reacted to Shrub is pathetic and for sure gave birth to a climate where the office of the Pres. is no longer respected. Just so happens that people in the far right are on the outside looking in now, its not out of the realm of possibility they are seeing fit to doll out a little bit of the "lefts" own medicine.
