I (Lather and Repeat are napping; Rinse here) will take this a step further. "I am confident that she did not intend any personal insult, just utter bemusement that anyone could support certain of his statements and actions.
Because some of the stuff that has been adequately documented - like the way he fabulated (and shook off dissent on those fabrications), or the way he authorized the discretionary war in Central America - these were not good things.
The way I see it, the central debate here is how important these things are to the quality of a President. To Michael M, they are clearly negligible. To E, they are grounds for believing that he should not have held office. For most of us, it's somewhere between those two ideological goalposts.
But this debate SHOULD be pursued with everyone here respecting the "nuance" concerning shooting the message vs. the messenger. And everyone here SHOULD be able to muster sufficient distance between his own pride and the subject matter to keep things courteous, even if "emphatic" is called for.
