I totally agree. Although I don't really understand why there should be an outburst of violence. Sure, there is always the random loon. But in general I have difficulty seeing what Obama has done that calls for upset emotions or even violence.
To me he seems like an idealist in words but a pragmatist in actions. But maybe I'm underestimating the anti-Obama sentiment?
