I think the issue here is that someone starts a thread on a topic without it being an "Obama thread," but at the point where Obama is brought into it, it is done in a way that does not specifically address the original topic in any thoughtful manner. Instead it's just another post consisting of the same old invective that adds nothing to any discussion except yet another post in a series of endless reiterations of how much the poster hates Obama.

It would be like someone who hates SH3 going to the SH3 forum and replying to thread after thread, not with something meaningful regarding the questions being asked or issues being reported or experiences being shared, but with some angry rant about how much SH3 sucks. Over and over again, until it drowns out almost everything else.

If all you have to say is that you think Obama sucks, fine. But if that's the primary or only sentiment you have to add to a discussion about some topic on a political or social issue, it gets old. Really fast.
