At least give Obama a year, haters

The Obama haters have found their voice, and he has yet to be inaugurated president. Can they at least wait until he is sworn in to office before opening the flood gates of their pent-up, vitriolic hate? We have suffered through eight long years of the worst presidency in my lifetime. Radical right-wingers and the complicit media are already busy trying to rewrite history in an effort to transform Bush's miserable record of failure into a successful legacy, i.e. "Well, we haven't been hit again."

Of course, they completely ignore the fact that 9/11 occurred on Bush's watch to begin with. And then of course there are the issues of invading a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, illegal wiretapping and torture, Katrina, the disastrous economy, etc. In the interest of fairness, please give President Obama at least a year on the job before condemning his presidency.
