No-one was ever suggesting he was some sort of Montgomery Burns-esque plutocratic supervillain. His fault is more that he's out of touch (like the thing with the dog on the roof of a car. It's not deliberate animal cruelty, it's just kinda dumb)

Politicians are people too, and people tend to be generally decent when you get to know them

But they are suggesting that.

Everyone says "He strapped a dog to the roof of a car, and we can't have a sociopath like that as President!"

This just gives some sort of balance. He is at worst, a decent human being who doesn't share your ideas. Fine. Stop lambasting him as the anti-Christ (not directed at you, but at his critics in general).

We'll stop when *they* stop suggesting that Obama should share the fate of Osama.

I don't think anybody has ever said that.

Indeed, if you look at Obama vs Romney ads, the Romney ads attack Obama for being well-intentioned but wrong. The Obama ads attack Romney for being evil, hating poor people, and so on.
