After Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, conservatives criticized the award. It seems like they have something against peace. When Chicago lost its bid to host the 2016 Olympics despite Obama's promotion of it, conservatives cheered. Conservatives were against Obama speaking to school children... about staying in school.
Obama could invent a cure for cancer and conservatives would probably be against that. They would probably say he was increasing unemployment by putting oncologists out of business.
It seems like conservatives have learned their political tactics from the Monty Python argument sketch. It doesn't matter what Obama does, they will engage in gainsaying whatever he does. It's not about having different political opinions. It's not about having integrity towards their "beliefs." They would and have abandoned some of their opinions or beliefs simply because Obama had taken the same position. It's just about being against anything Obama does.
They do this because it is more important for them to try to help themselves win elections by attempting to politically destroy Obama than to try to help our country win. That's why it's more important for them to block health care reform (because they believe it would help Obama if it is passed) than to do something to help the almost 45,000 Americans who die each year because they don't have health insurance. They probably just hope all those people who die are Obama voters.
