With all the blame Obama post around here of late
I propose we start a new forum for us pro-Obama patriots. You know the kind, those of us that are appreciative of having a good solid man as our President who has one hell of a mess to deal with left by the likes of so many of the perps who now are questioning his every move.

1. Um, Not likely. I take particular pleasure in harrassing the grumps.
Perhaps it is they who need to seek more fertile ground.

2. It's getting pretty corny around here.
Back to the pro-Obama or anti-Obama crap.

26. I'll wait for you to find where I've posted that Obama is just as bad as Bush
or whatever it is you're blathering on about.

I won't hold my breath though, since you won't find any.

9. My Aussie friend puts it like this, "American politics are like the Jerry Springer show"
...and the DU is no exception. Astute observers, those Aussies.

Getting Democrats all on the same page is like herding cats, tuna will only get you so far.

Of course the alternative is to be malinformed lockstep zombies like the gullible right. Naw, I'll pass.

14. It has been interesting...
When reading through the OPs and various threads, it becomes very clear there are approximately 20 die-hard 'complainophiles' (another DUer coined that term and it seems to fit quite nicely, imo) who, no matter what the Obama administration does OR doesn't do, will find some hyped-up, less than truthful reason to trash it. Those 20 are VERY vocal, very busy which can make it seem there are many more than there is, imo.

I leave out the various trolls who pop in and leave a very short trail of slime as they don't count at all but they ARE amusing, lol.

16. You know I think you're on to something there
I tried an experiment a while back when it was MJ every other post seemingly like and just started putting them on ignore momentarily and after about 20 or so names I wasn't seeing hardly any MJ threads so I do think you're on to something.

15. I see DU as a place to vent and give and receive ideas
Dems seem to be thinkers more than sheep - cats maybe, can't herd them. Bottom line is that the repubs are so damned far off base and our country is in such deep sh**t since bush's 8 years that Obama overall is doing a damned good job. Of course I don't always agree with him and get frustrated.

19. You folks who see "blaming Obama" everywhere make me wonder
Edited on Tue Aug-25-09 11:52 AM by Mystayya
Because I don't see that site. I think 99.9% of the people here definitely support the President. Could it be that you see what you want to see? Or that you see every concern or complaint about Washington as some sort of personal attack on the President? I don't know why it is that you all see things in such a warped manner. Perhaps one of our local experts on human behavior could shed some light on it. I would bet good money that if you took the time to actually count the pro and con posts regarding the President over the last month the vast majority would be pro-Obama.

23. Madokie has been a contributor here for quite some time and...
he has often had something to offer and has been fair in his opinions. If I see a post from him I check it out. But, it could be that he is an Okie and I am an Okie. We live in a difficult State to be a Democrat in - it can be mind boggling the stupid conversations one can have here with a conservative. So, if I hear a dem hack on some issue with Obama it is frustrating because ANY repub would have a much worse cure for our worldly problems.

But, if Obama seems to be dragging his feet on this heath care issue I do get a bit scared, afterall, this issue has gone down the tubes for decades. Bottom line, who could do better? I truly can't think of anyone. Of course I am not in any special loop of people that know the inner working.......

27. I didn't mean it as an insult towards anyone
I'm just curious because I seem to be reading a very different site. I don't see all this bashing, in fact I see more complaints about bashing then I do about bashing. Perhaps it's a difference in what constitutes bashing. I don't know. I think the vast, vast majority of the people on this site want to see the president exceed beyond our wildest dreams. But at the same time they are vocal and passionate about the issues that have meaning to them.
