I'm getting tired of defending him.
Edited on Sun Nov-07-10 02:04 AM by rufus dog
Actually this week was the first time I ever got tired, thought about pulling down the Stars and Stripes I put up on election night 2008 and flying a California State flag. (Basically a big FU to the rest of the Union, we will do fine on our own) My self pity went away yesterday, figured out I really have nothing to bitch about and some times you just need to fight harder.

The real subject line should have been "When will they ever learn?"

The idiots who made up stories to disparage the President about the cost of the trip to India now look like even bigger idiots when the President gets a huge trade deal two days into his trip. And it isn't solely the righties making shit up. There are daily posts stating, "if he does or doesn't do this then 'F' him, I will be done with him. Like pulling down a flag, it might make you feel better for a very short time, but it doesn't accomplish anything.

1. For me, defending Bill Clinton was a lot more taxing on the mind
It really wore me down.

Obama can frustrate me sometimes, but compared to the Clinton years, this is not even close.

4. I wasn't tired of defending Clinton til way later.
Then I regretted it when Gore lost. I still wonder if he shouldn't have bit the bullet and let Gore be Presdent. Then we wouldn't have had Bush.

2. ain't that the truth
If Clinton had walked into the mess Obama did I might have cut him more slack. I didn't vote for him in '96, living in CA it was safe, but it was still extremely short sighted.

8. It is very frustrating - it is hard arguing with people who think made-up BS is the Truth
It is like a tidal and I see no end in sight.
