Have you ever read "Mein Kampf"?
"Only at night did I sleep in my quarters. Since I regularly woke up before 
five o'clock in the morning, I had gotten in the habit of putting a few 
left-overs or crusts of bread on the floor for the mice which amused themselves in my 
little room, and watching the droll little beasts chasing around after these 
choice morsels. I had known so much poverty in my life that I was well able to 
imagine the hunger, and hence also the pleasure, of the little creatures."

Full of stuff like that.  A reasonable fellow, old Adolf.

"...taken against him.."  is your perception which comes from wondering why 
the light doesn't bedazzle everyone else's eyes as it bedazzles your own.  

If Lynda were an avid griller of steak and I were a militant vegetarian, and 
you offered us a dish of boiled owl, the fact that we both find it repugnant 
does not mean we share the same tastes in food.  It is *that* obvious to the 
non-obamista that the man is neutral, inexperienced, and naive at best and 
greatly wrong-headed at worst.  But it neither means that we have 'taken agaisnt 
him' nor that it makes us political allies.

There's your answer, the reason such divergent people BOTH see Obama for what 
he is means there is nothing there.
