Why such thin skin? and a final note

Though, Obama was nominated, won the general and is now President - has anyone else noticed how many of his supporters still cannot brook the slightest criticism?
Why is this?

Good on ya, Barack. I support the Gag Rule and Gitmo executive orders completely. I don't trust the Gitmo one yet - we'll see if he follows through. But the forced revision of interrogation techniques is ballsy. Obama has proven himself worthy of suspicion, so I suspect something is up with these orders. But for now I say Good on ya Barry!

One final note for the week which was prompted by 2 recent emails : As a general rule white heterosexual male Obama supporters should refrain from lecturing gay/bisexual/female bloggers about bigotry, being the "other" in society, and discrimination.
