Oh, was a magical third Bush term going to make this any better? Or a McCain or Romney administration?
How about a straw man? Or a false dilemma? Would either of those help?

So what you're saying is that if Obama never had any wingnut critics, you'd believe what the facts are telling you about his motivation?
Whether any of his critics are radicals or wingnuts is irrelevant to the question as to whether Obama favors big corporations, mass surveillance, and bypassing the courts and Congress to execute his policies.
After three years of being a video game tester, I became a lead tester and I spent the next three years going to back to school to learn computer programming. Despite working 80 hours a week for two to four weeks at a time, I was branded as not a "team player" by management because I had an exit strategy.
Zig Ziglar used to say, "the only thing worse than training an employee and having him leave, is not training him and having him STAY!" Employers who push an employee out for enriching himself, especially at his own expense, deserve to fail.
I recall an article on Obama winning the election back in 2008. That was the last time a pro-Obama article made the front page of slashdot. Since then it has been a regular parade of how evil he - and everyone in his administration - is.
Because he hasn't done anything to warrant the admiration of the "News for Nerds" community.
The USA Patriot Act is (mostly) still in place.
Gitmo still holds people without charges.
Cannabis is still illegal.
Civil forfeiture still exists.
The IRS is (still) going after people the administration doesn't like.
Obama promised the most transparent administration, yet it's probably the most secretive one since FDR's WWII administration.
The world, especially the Middle East, still hates us, yet he has the gall to claim that they love us now because of him.
What positive "News for Nerds" are we supposed to report, again? Obamacare?
