"We would never ever ever abandon Obama."

It isn't a question of who has rights, the rights are equal. It is a question of options which you seem to have removed from your self in an embarassingly servile manner, which some how comes across as bold, even arrogant. Criticism may be biased which puts a question into the genuine nature of the critique. You have expressed strong bias.

"So who has more of a right to critisize Obama you or I-lol?"

When you remove bark from a tree, you get wood. Wood is useful for many things but to call it a liberated tree or to call it a tree independent of its bark would be using those terms in a corrupt fashion. At some point wood is no longer a part of the forest and can not even be termed a tree. You can't say it is the fault of the wood for being useful or that it is not of the tree's nature. Wood is used according to those who have a purpose for it.

When you remove decency, personal conscience, moral principle, and personal honor from a human being, you get a person who is able to do many things which a person bound in a moral code of decency could not be used for. The biggest difference is, unlike trees, human beings make a choice about whether to be used or not. Personally I think it is a waste for human beings to shed their bark and allow themselves to be used.

This is why I click my tongue when I see people proclaiming themselves liberal while contradicting that nature.
