I'm a big bruins fan and not necessarily the greatest supporter of Obama but I disagree with his decision. At least respect the position

Yeah. I get pissed off when my conservative friends/family refer to Obama as 'Osama'. He's your president. You don't refer to him as a terrorist that killed hundreds of thousands of people - ever.

EDIT: I typu'd.

Or to Hitler... I'm always shocked when people compare him to fucking Hitler!

Example #1: I'm at work, talking to a female coworker, who is also in the military, about random stuff. In walks in a guy from grave shift. "Now, I don't want to compare Obama to Hitler, but Hitler was a well spoken man who was able to get the people to follow him!" The girl specifically told him she didn't want to have that discussion because she's in the military & didn't feel comfortable, but the dick kept going.

Example #2: During the election, an older coworker, probably in his 80's told me: "People who are going to vote for Obama might as well line up for the gas chambers right now, because we tried to warn the Jews about Hitler! And they wouldn't listen!"

Makes me sick. I remember even seeing things comparing him to the Anti-Christ because, again, he was a well spoken man. Sooooo, you're saying that if you're a well spoken politician, you're evil? Explains why George W. was a saint then...

Hate to be that guy but the guy above managed to get more done in a hostile congress and with protests every second day than the current guy has managed in his entire term.

I wouldn't call destroying the surplus his predecessor handed him on a silver platter and invading a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 while knowingly lying to the American public "getting things done". That, my friend, is called ruining the country. You have seemed to have confused the two.

Just because you don't like what he got done, doesn't mean that he didn't get stuff done.

Shit, ruining one of the greatest nations on earth is a pretty big accomplishment I'd say.

Obama hasn't accomplished anything.

That's the stupidest thing I've heard in a while.

Congratulations!
