You are right on the money that there are plenty of people out there rooting against the US and hoping for failure simply so the President will look bad. It is truly pathetic. These people won't admit they are rooting against their own country because they know how bad it would make them look if they admitted it. (I am not saying that DTS is one of these people. I have no idea whether he is or not.)

What's funny about these people is that they go so overboard with their hatred of the President that I think they actually hate him much more than they hate Bin Laden. It's not rational. A lot of it has to be displaced anger. Many of these people are simply very unhappy and angry people and they are looking for someone to direct their anger at. they're just looking to blow off some steam. It's not necessarily a conscious thing. Displaced anger is actually a defense mechanism and is partially unconscious.
