Remember. Regardless of what happens Tuesday...this guy is still our president.

[Drunken Irishman]

I know some don't think it's much. But I feel good every time I go to bed knowing he is our president.

[Bolo Boffin]

1. Oh, lord, it could be worse.

John McCain and Sarah Palin, people.

[Political Heretic]

2. Keep clinging to that irrational emotionalism

It's a warm blanket of delusion and disassociation from reality.

6. Please tell me you're not going to ask for "Loyalty Oaths" like those right wingers during

the last Administration? Please don't demand that insanity?

Are you loyal to President Obama first, Jesus second, and last, the Constitution? :wow:

[Drunken Irishman]

8. Actually...God, The Pope, Obama, Michael Collins and then America.

[davidpdx]

10. I'm sorry I don't see anything about loyalty oaths

While I have really liked your posts in the past, I think you are exaggerating a bit.

[KittyWampus]

15. those graphics are a non sequitur. That leads to the question of why you post them here & elsewheres

on DU.

This is maybe the third time I've noted you posting them.

[cliffordu]

39. SHe has a dead baby picture she liked to post for a long time,

then she got shamed into using these - Shorthand for "I'm not thinking...."

[cali]

19. gad. your constant hysteria and ridiculous and false accusations

and your utter inability to connect with reality, are tiresome.

[Fire1]

23. Just because someone accused you of being a cheerleader

doesn't mean you have to lash out at those of us who are, to prove you're not a lock stepper. Support, is not hysteria. Up til now, your posts have been diplomatic and rational.

[cali]

24. lol. if I got upset over all the times I'm attacked here, I'd be in a constant

tither. and yes, I do tend toward the rational, unlike the poster I was addressing.

[Fire1]

31. I apologize, cali. I now see you were not responding to the OP.

I need new glasses. lol!:hi:

[hileeopnyn8d]

27. I think

perhaps you didn't realize who she was responding to, I don't think her response was directed at the OP.

[Fire1]

29. I think you're right now that I look at the thread again. n/t

[cliffordu]

38. Nazis now???

Where's the dead baby???

Chicken.

[Fire1]

20. "........over a bunch of psychopath wannabe cowboys." LMAO!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[KittyWampus]

14. Emotions are what fuel us to do the work that needs to get done. That and powdered milk biscuits

[cliffordu]

40. I do likes me a passel of powdered milk biscuits.

[rebel with a cause]

41. I prefer baking powder biscuits.

the ones my mom made when I was a kid. :applause:

[HughMoran]

16. That was uncalled for

[Fire1]

21. I don't think so. n/t

[firedupdem]

18. Keep clinging to that irrational hate. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

32. So, are you saying that people who don't trash Obama 24/7

are delusional?

Since when is that kind of attitude a sign of being realistic?

36. I for one am getting really tired

of people claiming that positive emotions such as pride and hope cannot live alongside rational thought and intelligence. Sorry, bud, but cynicism does not equal knowledge and superiority. It doesn't make you seem, or be, smarter. Joy and hope are everywhere. If they weren't, humans wouldn't have made it this far. OK I'm done.

[FrenchieCat]

4. My husband put it to me this way......

when I told him that there was no way we could lose Massachussets to a dickhead, was there? (I look to him to talk me down often enough).

He said, Obama was always going to have a difficult nearly improbable job that would go against all odds when it comes to support....and this is just more of that. His improbable journey didn't end,
just because he was elected. He will have it harder than most during his entire presidency.
But he was prepared for that. He understands this. He will have to do with whatever he has to do,
whether with 60 Senators or not. It's not anything he ever banked on, having an overwhelming majority in both houses. He also understood that the 60 votes he does right now have, aren't really his.
....but I'll tell you now, he will not take his eye off the prize. That, you can put under your mattress.

Washington Post buries the lede about its Obama poll

Actually, the Post didn't bury the lede. The Post completely ignored it.

A possible lede? Obama's job approval ratings went up since December. (In terms of the bigger picture, Obama's approval ratings today is right where it was five months ago, according to WashPost numbers.)

But the Post article makes no mention of that fact--none--as the piece relentless lays on the negative news for Obama.
Behold:


"A year into his presidency, President Obama faces a polarized nation and souring public assessments of his efforts to change Washington, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Nearly half of all Americans say Obama is not delivering on his major campaign promises, and a narrow majority have just some or no confidence that he will make the right decisions for the country's future.

More than a third see the president as falling short of their expectations, about double the proportion saying so at the 100-day mark of Obama's presidency in April. At the time, 63 percent said the president had accomplished a "great deal" or a "good amount." Now, the portion saying so has dropped to 47 percent."


I repeat: Nowhere in the Post article about presidential polling does it report that Obama's approval rating went up this month.

5. If he would pull our combat troops out of the ME, I would be proud of him.

Not now, not also with the killer drones all over the ME that will amount to far too much Blowback. :(

[frog92969]

9. My thoughts exactly

It's the casual killing that bothers me the most.

[Drunken Irishman]

11. I certainly hope, by the end of his term, he has done that.

I do hold out hope. I am not one who believes Pres. Obama is a warmonger. :(

[wisteria]

7. You are right, but it would be better for him and us if he had 60 Democratic senators behind him n/t

[Clio the Leo]

12. Well crap!

.... I thought it was a Package deal. :)

[cali]

13. yes he is, but it will be a big blow to his presidency if brown wins.

[firedupdem]

17. And I'm glad about it! n./t

[Fire1]

22. I know I sleep better! That's for damn sure!! n/t

[azmouse]

25. That's my favorite photo of the President.

Too cool. B-)

[Phx_Dem]

30. +1

[HopeOverFear]

35. Mine too. nm

[NJmaverick]

26. This is certainly a big comfort

[Scurrilous]

28. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Tippy]

34. No matter what they throw at him...he keeps on trucking....

[totodeinhere]

37. Yes, but...

If Brown wins, it will be harder for our president to accomplish what is necessary. That's why it's important that Coakley wins. Of course, you know that already but I think it bears repeating.

[NYC_SKP]

42. If he didn't already have a job, he could be...

...a movie star, action hero, secret agent!

I love that pic, this one too:
