It's Obama's Fault (Whatever It is).

Seriously, what IS it with a percentage of people out there who blame Obama for every single thing that's wrong? 

Today we had a customer who pretty much came in the door and blamed Obama for the heavy traffic they encountered to get to us, and then proceeded to talk about how he was stockpiling ammo because "Obama was going to outlaw it", and then went on to talk about how he can't sell his house, and of course, that was Obama's fault, too.  I looked up his house online later - dude, your house is a DUMP that's half a block from a trashy trailer park... THAT is why your house won't sell.   A local restaurant closed down recently and on the door the owner put up a sign that read, "Having to close due to Obamacare".  Oh geezus... for real?  No, you closed because you overcharged for your food (that wasn't good to begin with), had very bad service, and your bathrooms looked like they came from a very dirty gas station - THAT is why you closed.  Well, the list goes on.

We have a process where we vote in this country.  The people voted the first time and Obama won.  Everyone else blamed "the Blacks" for it (who for the record, only make up 12% of the population).  We voted again 4 years later, and Obama won again.  No vote rigging, Romney even conceded early into the results night and went to bed.  That's it, folks.  It's done, fair and square. 

Do I think Obama is the best President we've ever had?  No way.  Do I think he's the worst we've had?  No way.  He's "there", he got voted in, and you deal with it and move on.  But this percentage of folks who literally spend hours of each of their days dwelling on how much they dislike the guy and how everything is his fault?  Please seek your Yellow Pages, and look up, "psychiatric services".  It will help you move on.
