You know this is just temporary, right?

[FrenchieCat]

These 2 days of support for the President.

It will come crashing down the next time he scratches his ass cheek with the wrong hand...

[CBR]

1. It is already over this morning. nt

[Fire1]

9. "It certainly is, Ollie." n/t

[jaxx]

2. Yep I've noticed the honeymoon is over.

Easier to knock him than to support him for some.

[JohnnyLib2]

3. I figure any time he spent surfing in the past is helpful.

Waves come and go, spills happen, back ya go.....

[Cha]

10. President Obama has had a lot of interesting experience

in life that helps him and us in these turbulent, erratic times of ebb and flow.

[grantcart]

4. note to self: reorder more koolaid for the DU cooler

[cliffordu]

6. make sure you get some alcohol free for those of us

who are already drunk.

[treestar]

5. Obama does have this knack

for getting people on his side - he needs to be out in public as much as possible.

It always seems to work.

[Cary]

7. My divorce from "them" is permanent

"They" can do what "they" think "they" need to do. . .

without me.

[quiet.american]

8. Yeah, but damn it felt umm-umm good! nt

[HughMoran]

11. Yep. 2 weeks later and it's as bad as it's ever been

...as expected...

[JeffR]

12. It certainly is, though I'm finding it sticks in my craw a little less now.

Then again, I now have scores and scores and scores of people on ignore, so my DU experience is perhaps idiosyncratic.

(And to the jerking lurkers, no, I don't mind contrary views whatsoever. What I mind is naked intellectual dishonesty, willful misreading of the record, flippant dismissal of the difficulties of governance, refusal to acknowledge the complexities of the current political climate, knee-jerk reactions to nuanced issues, empty all-or-nothing-at-all platitudes, sloganeering passing for argument, worn-out rhetoric supposedly dignified with the rubric of holding feet to fire, casual embrace of suspect sources to bolster weak positions, eagerness to adduce mainstream media sources that were once routinely and rightly decried by most participants here, closet racism, thinly disguised primary grudges, off-site agenda mongers, right-wing trolls, stale platitude-dispensers who would have embarrassed even '70s campus Maoist factions at my alma mater, Naderite recidivists, pie-in-the-sky third-party advocates who couldn't organize a bake sale let alone a national party, end-times survivalists who don't give a crap about much of anything as long as they can hole up in some fantasy cabin in the woods, assorted nitwits who would rather see a President Palin than admit that they're utterly wrong, people whose grasp of civics and the American system of government wouldn't pass muster in a 6th Grade class, tub-thumping buffoons who just hate everything on principle, former DUers who hold a permanent grudge because they were shit-canned, and last but not at all least, miscellaneous web weirdos. All of them have done their goddamn utmost to make this site a valueless piece of crap, and members of all the above now jostle for space on my Ignore List.)

[NanceGreggs]

13. When I'm ME, I'm adequate ...

... when I'm YOU, I'm fabulous!

[FrenchieCat]

14. Ooh shit!

Tell it! :applause:

[Uzybone]

15. Preach it.....excellent

[Number23]

16. Damn, I almost need a cigarette after that.

[Cha]

18. Media trash talk..left and right.

.."casual embrace of suspect sources to bolster weak positions, eagerness to adduce mainstream media sources that were once routinely and rightly decried by most participants here, closet racism, thinly disguised primary grudges, off-site agenda mongers, right-wing trolls..."

[politicasista]

17. Yep.

Go figure.
