Verified answer

The far-rightwing extemists in control of today's Republican party are NOT "conservatives" at all---to these religious-whackjob extremists conservatism would be considered too liberal.

Why do these malicious propaganda-dependent extremist Republicans or even more extreme teabagging evangelicals harrass and hound and belittle and berate our nation-saving deficit-slashing President Obama? I suspect, as a former psychology major, that the reasons are rooted in envy, projected self-loathing, and repressed fears---both irrational or hysterical fears and a deep-rooted fear of inadequacy that in all likelihood began during infancy at the hands of austere parental authority figures who spanked for crying or beat and berated for messing the britches during potty-training.

The hardcore biblical-literalist religious-fanatic portion of the GOP, controlled by Heritage Foundation and a multi-named fundamentalist CULT The Family (a.k.a., Youth With A Mission, C Street House, Council on National Policy, etc.), had the audacity and arrogance to assume during alzheimered Reagan days that they could orchestrate a THEOCRATIC COUP from inside the political system, using YWAM's "Seven Mountains" (seven spheres of influence to be conquered for government takeover) in order to peddle their "religion" as the only "valid" religion---and claim DOMINION (read Michelle Goldberg's well-researched exposure of this cancerous spread in the U.S. or try Jeff Sharlet's "The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism At the Heart of American Power"---he went undercover inside the D.C. branch of The Family). These Pat Robertson-type NUTS set up HOMESCHOOLING "from infancy" (a Michael Farris boast in Goldberg's "Kingdom Coming: The Rise of 'Christian' Nationalism") in all 50 states and BRAINWASHED ("indoctrinated" is their word) at least two generations into believing they are "God ordained to TAKE DOMINION over every level of government and over all nonbelievers" (meaning all of us who do NOT accept their literal interpretation of scripture to be the LAW OF THE LAND, Constitution be damned---except for their worship of the Second Amendment, of course). When Democrats retook control of House and Senate in 2006, this was a shock to these whackos---convinced they are "God-ordained" to be the ones in power so the GOP had tremendous trouble accepting the loss. Then came 2008---and victory for an erudite highly intelligent man of color with the charm of Bobby Kennedy and a message of unity, healing, and hope. COGNITIVE DISSONANCE for the egomaniacal biblical-literalist GOP--they thought their tight-shoes version of "God" was "on their side" (and it turned out they were WRONG, so the Jacob's ladder they thought would be their shortcut to power is suddenly GONE and the GOP had nothing to put in its place---no fall-back plan. So they take all their fears, doubts, low-self-esteem, repressed bug-uglies out on the man who relegated them to second-fiddle position.

That's my guess anyhow.

If the moderates-in-hiding dare to re-emerge, the Republican party may not self-destruct.

Because the man has done nothing but build political POWER. He has shored up Democrat organizations and unions, wrecked the recovery, and alienated our allies.

Other than that he is a real neat guy. A party type that likes to vacation and have dinner w/ paying guests!

Because a lot of heroes died to give us the freedom to criticize and replace our leaders when they don't do their jobs. oobama has destroyed this country. Romney would have fixed the country you know him being a millionaire who knows how to stimulate an economy. Instead the libtards voted in a proven failure and liar for a second term.

I have this thing against someone who says he wants to fundamentally change our country when it is the best idea ever.

I don't like the idea that he was raised by people who hate and vowed to destroy our way of life. I despise idiots that have a phony no basis white guilt BS.

Yeah, there's more but those are the big ones.

His policies don't work. Plus, he's a dictator who sent the IRS after conservative groups.

so sad there is no cure for the mental disease of liberalism brought on from the drinking of the Obama Kool aid..unless you eventually outgrow it before it destroys all your common sense and brain cells.

EVERYONE should criticize O.

He's driving our country into a deep dark hole.

inept leadership, failed radical Marxist policies and virtually no understanding of effective economic reality of our nation.

Because he sucks and is ruining our country

because they want another shot at making the rich even richer.
