A lot of dopers have been here to criticize the last administration, and rightly so, in many cases. I hope you will welcome my presence as a primary critic of the new regime. I want you all to know that I am here for the same reason that you were, to help us have a better democracy. Quite frankly, I didn’t have much desire to defend Bush, but my feelings about Obama have gotten me very inspired. To get things started: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=510166](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=510166) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=509949](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=509949) I look forward to following the exploits of the Obamunist with you all. The man is a disaster. An empty suit with an ideology that will harm the world. Don’t say I didn’t tell you so. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/as-you-were-now-i-am/489317)._
