Put it this way... not really... but he screwed up a lot of things I 
care about now, and a lot of things my parents cared about then... when 
one's parents are upset about things, one tends to get upset about 
things too.  Also I got really really tired of seeing his face on TV as 
president for 8 years and not particularly liking him in the first 
place.  8 years is a really long time to a child.  He got old and 
boring really quick.  I also was well read by the time I was 9 and kind 
of knew what was going on in the last four years which made my 
instinctive knee-jerk reactions of before actually make sense rather 
than being just karma-ish.

Fix your reply-to.
