Hello, may I join this group?
I am SO tired of the GD and GDP bashing and hating Obama day in and day out.


I do not recognize this board any more.



It is like they want him to fail just like Rush does


It really makes me sick

4. I didn't even know there was this forum. I wondered where everyone I used to talk to went.
I don't recognize most of the people on the GD: Presidential board anymore.
I consider myself a reasonable person but WTF is going on out there lately? And they are mad at us for overtaking the board? LOL. Only ultra progressives allowed I guess. At this point, DU is going to lose a lot of people. I wonder why I bother anymore.

5. I sent an email to Skinner
said a lot of long time memebers were unhappy and that maybe a clear statement from them might help


as is, so many people are in disagree mode so strongly, I hesitate to even post anything

6. I am actually worried to post anymore. I made two OPS the other day
and all I got was outright hatred. I am actually one of those people willing to say Obama is wrong sometimes, but I have no hatred for him. I do wonder what DU's future is...is it for progressives who hate Dems only? What about the rest of us? Where do we fit in? Perhaps no where. I give it one more month and then I may not be back.

7. that's what I was wondering too
It's clear the "progressives" are allowed to keep at it and take over the main forums.

One of them in GDP said something to a post about leaving if you don't like it.

9. Well, who will they have to yell at anymore? LOL.
The reasonable types may leave and then they can turn on each other.

13. Then they go over to their own little site off DU and bitch about "The Bog".
I wonder if these people have jobs.

15. I thought subforums are called "dungeons"?
Why are Election Reform, 9/11, I/P and Guns etc. called "the dungeon", but the BOG is elevated to some sort of status that even we aren't aware? Is it really that annoying that a few people still support President Obama? Must we be exterminated before they are 'happy'? (I put 'happy' in quotes for obvious reasons.)

14. I saw that nasty little "leave if you don't like it" post
It took a lot of willpower to resist posting a reply.

16. You are very reasonable Jennicut..
I admire the way you conduct yourself and am surprised to see you here.

Never thought you'd be interested. I have a lot of posters on ignore so I must be missing the overload of venom which was my intention.

Hopefully there will be a good solution to the hatred overtaking DU that's posting under the guise of "progressive" when it's not even reality based.

19. All the hatred has created the exact opposite of what that crew wants.
I would be more than willing to discuss what I don't like about things Pres Obama has or has not done but the atmosphere of out-right hosility to the man keeps me from saying anything. I don't in any way want to be seen to be like the constant critics or even appear to be on their side or in agreement with them... at all.

17. Hey demtenjeep!
Glad you found the BOG.

We could really get some things accomplished here, imv. Don't have to agree with the Obama Admin on everything..let them know what we don't like and contributions to other orgs like moveon to make sure our Social Security is secure.

But, it's from a place of respect and sans the lies and hate.
