because they obviously aren't smart enough to think for themselves.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by
the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally
treasonable to the American public.". . . "Patriotism means to stand by the country.
It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly
to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him
insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to
the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."
-- Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, 1908

Because he is the duly elected Commander in Chief of our armed forces and the President of the United States. Isn't it great that people in this country can sit in their armchairs and make decisions about a politician while having no decision of their own more difficult than what color socks to wear? Meanwhile, a past President can use him position to have sex with an intern and get away with it... Perhaps if we ALL supported our leader, we might get some unity in this country...

Well, maybe it has something to do with the fact that, like it or not, he IS the President right now. I should think that, at least, is worthy of some respect. Besides that, a lot of what he does is right (not everything, but quite a bit), and I shudder when I consider the alternatives.

Why do any Americans support Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or Al "The Sky is Falling" Gore? Personal preference...

Because not all of us follow everything the media spews and are able to be objective even with the constant attacks from our liberal friends in the media. This president is not perfect (but who was) but overall he is doing a decent job I came to that conclusion because my mind is not clouded by hatred.

Either they are off their meds, detatched from reality, or misinformed, example
"I support President Bush because he believes in God" This came from a 5 year old girl that I tutor.

they are probably brainwashed by the many neo-con talk radio show hosts, who lie, cover up, and distract people habitually. they are doing a disservice to this country by supporting him.
the quotes that the other answerer posted above me do nothing more than point out the fact that congress is full of liars too.

We are so smart that we don't fall for all the media bias and BS.
Myself, I do it cause it makes the libtards drool in rage when ever I mention it.

the people who still support him are looking at the situation through "rose colored glasses" - seeing only the parts they want to see, and ignoring the rest.

Because he is our President and will be for another 21 months. By further weakening him you are weakening our country. Don't you people understand that?
