One can disagree with Obama's policies or be of the opinion that they are not in the country's best interest, w/o this kind of inflammatory description:
"....what many, including myself, see as blind following of a president who hates this country and wishes to destroy the very foundation of it."
IMO, suggesting that Obama "hates this country and wishes to destroy the very foundation.."....does not contribute to a productive discussion or rational solutions and reflects as much or more on you as those you criticize.
Or perhaps you really believe that Obama hates this country.

We can only speak for ourselves.
I was as critical of Bush/Cheney policies as anyone here...but never suggested that they hated this country or thought that Bush was a Nazi or wished his death.
But my point is...one cannot talk about coming together when one's own rhetoric is so divisive as to suggest the President of the United States hates this country.
