Not being able to see/acknowledge/discuss problems pretty much ensures the problems won't be addressed. Thats an intelligent approach that facilitates progress?
Are the pitcher's parents well regarded/respected who, because they can't bear to face the truth, unfailingly blame fielders when their kid gives up 5 runs? Sound familiar? Anyone able to discuss one single problem this country is having without putting the majority of the blame on the other party?

I unapologetically question the man's character...and his Americanism. His prior dealings and associations, his continuous obfuscation and down-right dishonesty, and his hard-left policy positions--including avowed internationalism--ALL provide me with ample reasons to do so. Facts are facts, and I'm not going to leave them unstated for fear that it might "reflect poorly" on me. Nor am I particularly concerned about scrutinizing the lives and beliefs of people who aspire to the most powerful position on the planet.
The hard left in this country is anti-American. Engage any of them in debate and they will be happy to tell you so themselves. Read the writings of the philosophers they worship or the position papers of the interest groups they populate and it's right there in black and white. They will tell you that America is oppressive, greedy, racist, corrupt, imperialist, and evil, and that it has always been that way. They will tell you that America is responsible for nearly every bad thing that happens on the planet, and that America (and Western culture more generally), far from being an engine of global productivity and advancement, owes all of its achievements to its oppression of peoples both home and abroad. And they don't just say that...they act on it.
In fact, the only time they make any effort to cover their views up at all is during presidential elections when people are actually paying attention, because if ordinary Americans had any clue about the true policy preferences and philosophical underpinnings of these people and groups they would find them wholly unpalatable. And make no mistake about it, these are the interests that Obama has consistently aligned himself with his entire political career.
So no, I'm not going to proceed from the ridiculous assumption that the standard-bearer for the hard left is equally concerned about the well-being of me and mine, or the country as a whole. He is not.
