People are going to criticize Obama throughout his Presidency, for a host of legitimate reasons. You're going to have to get used to it, or you're going to have a frustrating and aggravating 4 (or more) years.

I felt like I was reading a 10 year old's perspective on presidents. People on both sides of the aisle don't realize how silly this election has made them look. They were always silly but needed a reason to bring it out.

Are you saying my perspective was "a 10 year old's perspective?" Or PB's?
Not that I'm self-conscious or anything...haha.

I'm hoping that the criticism won't be as bitter and personal as it was with Bush and Clinton, but I think it's important to recognize that not all of Obama's projected policies as expressed are good or realistic ones. Apparently the campaign realizes it too as the community service plan goes from required to voluntary, etc, and whatever else the right-y blogs are mentioning today.
It does seem a little childish to assume that people who opposed Obama's political ideas should all get on board because he won. People should probably ask themselves if they feel that way about the outcomes of the 2000 and 2004 elections. If you told yourself anything other than "well, Bush is the President now, we need to get behind all of his policies," it seems ridiculous to expect people do to it for Obama. 6% doesn't seem like a mandate to me.
ETA: I see this was previously covered nicely by Dr.Phil (DSTChaos? Queen of Sheba) and others on the last page.

It was obviously a ruse that has fooled us all!
Seriously, some people stay away from the board for a while - I was gone for a year or so. It doesn't need to be something "suspicious."

She's bored and needed something to think about.
I have been gone for a year or so before, too. And I'll be gone again. The aliens that abducted me only released me for a week so I can post on GC. They are coming back to get me this weekend.
