I was born in 1991, so I wasn't really paying attention to politics until Bush was in the Oval Office. Since he left, I've noticed that right-wingers (at least, those that make the main page) regard Obama's presidency as nothing short of apocalyptic. Even putting aside the rumors that he's a muslim, or wasn't born in this country, which can easily be attributed to his race, a number of them seem convinced that not only is he incompetent, he is malicious and actively trying to run America into the ground. I know that there were rumors about Clinton too - that he'd ordered people killed and such - but was he regarded in the same light, or is the right's venomous hatred a new phenomenon?
