I've never been bothered by the wide range of lefty views of the Obama administration, either on the malevolent/benevolent scale or the competent/incompetent scale. People have different views about stuff which is largely unknowable and I've never understood why that disagreement angers people on the internets sometimes. As I think a lot of things are unknowable, I don't have strong confidence in the rightness of my assessment on any particular day, though I don't fault people for coming to their own stronger conclusions.
Still it's interesting that even those more inclined to defend the administration are, at least, on the competent/incompetent scale, starting to lose a bit of faith.
