The same goes for people who are supporting but don't critically think while they are supporting. In fact, the FANS of every president have done this and get extremely emotional when someone questions why they are in support or when someone is critical. Speaking of Obama specifically since this thread is about his administration, I know rational Obama supporters but unfortunately 7/10 of the Obama supporters that I come across are the emotional ones.

For some of these supporters who are black: There are some touchy topics that black folks, in general, will figuratively whoop your butt or take your imaginary black card over if you question what they consider to be conventional black folk wisdom. Now Obama is one of those things for some of these folks.

They can. There's a difference between thinking something is unfair (opinions) versus automatically dismissing any dissenting opinion as unfair or claiming that people don't have any right/rhyme/reason to criticize yet.
