just tried to unsubscribe to Obama e-mails

[babsbunny]

I'm about to head to the Capitol to ask Congress to act on my plan to put Americans back to work.

Before I do, I wanted to write you directly to remind you that the fight to create jobs -- and provide the kind of economic security for middle-class families that's been slipping away over the last decade -- won't begin or end with the speech I give tonight.

What happens will be up to you. In the coming days and weeks, it will be up to you to pressure Congress to act -- or hold them accountable if they do not.

If you're with me, let me know. And the campaign will make sure you are looped into our efforts to support this plan.

Talk to you soon,

Barack

Now when you unsubscribe you will get a video:

[Arctic Dave]

1. You will get everyone else e-mailing you next.

Biden , Michelle, etc.

I did it last month.

[Broderick]

3. What? They sell your email to other groups?

That's like responding to the spam mail with the unsubscribe. you get rid of one, and all of a sudden 20 more are sending you messages.

[Solomon]

2. Okay.

See ya.

[Sherman A1]

4. Just send it to your Spam folder

and let it go from there. I have most all of the political ones go there as they are really only asking for money.

[proud2BlibKansan]

51. +1

[dionysus]

5. welll... bye.

:shrug:

[Pyrzqxgl]

6. So, who are you going to vote for, one of the Dreadful Nine?

Sometimes you have to vote for someone you don't exactly approve of to keep something even worse out of power. I sure as hell don't want any Republican in the White House, but that's what talk like this gets us.

[FiveGoodMen]

13. We already have a republican in the White House

[emulatorloo]

15. Repeat it enough times, maybe it will come true.

[pnorman]

23. "There's Not A Dime's Worth Of Difference Between................."

[Sheepshank]

30. oooh...a repeat. How original n/t

[Enthusiast]

31. Worse.

When Obama dismantles the social safety net the Democratic Party will forever be saddled with the blame.

[Inuca]

57. God! I wish a had a magic wand

to send all people making such statements to an alternate universe where they would have Perry or even Romney as presidents, hell have them have the dynamic duo of McCain/Palin for a year or two, and then allow them to come back to what is generally called reality and have them compare notes. Anybody knows if I can find one (a wand I mean) on eBay?

[JuniperLea]

71. I use ignore a lot now...

It helps. I don't know how much more of this asshatery I can take, or how much bandwidth I am allowed to use for my iggie list, or which will give out first... my heart or the bandwidth... but something has got to give.

[Zoeisright]

77. Tell that to sick people who now have hope because of stem cell research.

I am so fucking sick of that lie of Nader's.

[pokerfan]

22. weren't there nine ringwraiths?

So apropos....

They were once Men. Great kings of Men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them Nine Rings of Power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question. One by one, falling into darkness. They are the Nazgûl. Ringwraiths, neither living nor dead.

In dark and loneliness they are strongest; they will not openly attack a house where there are lights and many people — not until they are desperate, not while all the long leagues of Eriador still lie before us. But their power is in terror, and already some in Bree are in their clutch. They will drive these wretches to some evil work: Ferny, and some of the strangers, and, maybe, the gatekeeper too.

[SusanaMontana41]

73. Can't see anyone disappointed with Obama voting for a Repug.

More likely we won't vote for anyone at the top of the ticket.

[leftyohiolib]

7. this is how we keep losing elections

" i didnt get my unicorn that farts glitter so im taking my ball and going home". dems stayed home in 2010 elections(to "show him" even though he wasnt up for relection) giving the potus a whole bunch of repubes to work with now when he cant get things done the way some "dems" want, they stay home and hand the repubs the senate. i dont understand this i'm gonna cut off my nose to spite my face attitude. but oh well thanks for being weak in the face of this fight.

[tallahasseedem]

9. Yep.

Pathetic. Those who sit out will punish millions of Americans over this.

[Bluebear]

11. Unicorn? Get with it, it's ponies in DU land when you want to be dismissive

[leftyohiolib]

20. well that's what stephie & the mooks say but i like unicorns

[QC]

35. Isn't it funny how many brand new arrivals know all the 2008 Primary Wars lingo?

And all the favorite put-downs and insults of that time.

I can only attribute it to their assiduous study of the DU archives in preparation for beginning to post here, and I admire such dedication wherever I see it.

[Horse with no Name]

40. And without a donor star to ALLOW them to search the archives

I'm impressed...aren't you? At the sheer dedication to the cause...

[QC]

41. One seldom sees such public-spiritedness in times like these. n/t

[Scurrilous]

72. Fancy that!

:thumbsup:

[EFerrari]

16. LOL. Or maybe we lose elections because people like you spread false information

all over the intertubes like "dems stayed home" which they did not, and are nasty to potential voters. Now, there's a thought. :think:

[leftyohiolib]

29. dupe - deleted

[leftyohiolib]

32. here's another thought: when people get out to vote dems win

i think the stat was 44% of registered dems voted. thats alot of people sitting it out

[EFerrari]

48. Nope. Our turnout was fine. Independents voted Republican. n/t

[rug]

19. I didn't get my unicorn glitter fart but at least I got your post to read.

Close enough.

[Bluebear]

42. And by the clever use name of "lib" too! Nice touch. nt

[leftyohiolib]

43. i am a lib, sir that's why lib is in there.

i want us to win more elections.

[Bluebear]

44. mmm.

[leftyohiolib]

45. read it, learn it , live it

[rug]

46. rinse, repeat, take a shit.

[Mr Deltoid]

78. Glitter?

I always thought they shit skittles

[muffin1]

86. ...

:yourock:

[Horse with no Name]

39. Again, the RW meme "The Dems stayed home"

and once again...the correct answer is no, the beloved game-changing indy's stayed home because there was very little change from the Bush to the Obama administration. They even kept a few of the same cast of characters to make it legit.

[Le Taz Hot]

47. Could you supply a link for that?

"dems stayed home in 2010" Also a link for where progressives requested "unicorns that farts glitter." Thanks.

[leftyohiolib]

69. for 2010 only 37.8% of registered voters voted

that's 90 some million out of about 220 million eligible voters. alot of people stayed home and they weren't all indies. in cluding alot of dems. you want links look them up yourself like i did.

[sabrina 1]

76. Iow, you cannot provide links because there are none.

The Dem Party lost the election in 2010. And because they refuse to learn the lessons from that loss, they are heading towards another loss.

I won't write here how angry that makes me, it would be unprintable. They threw away the opportunity of a generation which we handed to them, maybe more, for this country.

Don't bother with that rightwing lie, most of us have already researched the stats so it won't work. Try it somewhere else, although I'm not sure such a distortion of the facts will work anyhwere.

Then, to top it off Democrats lost Ted Kennedy's seat, a feat even those who were worried about their messing up the huge win they had in 2008, didn't think they could accomplish.

I guess if you're going to fail, which seems to almost be the goal, you may as well do it spectacularly.

Btw, I hope you are not going to be trying to get votes for Dems in the next election. Your strategy is a perfect example of how to lose.

And btw, it's 'Ponies' AND 'Unicorns' NOT just Unicorns, here on DU.

Ponies = things like Gay Rights, Women's Rights, Environmental Protection, Health-care for all Americans.

Unicorns = End the wars, (that's what the sparkles are for) end torture, prosecute war criminals and Wall St. criminals and few other things like that.

We want it all. So next time, please do NOT leave out the 'ponies'. Shame on you for forgetting those issues! What kind of progressive would make such an error. :eyes:

[leftyohiolib]

81. my apologies to ponies and there are links i didnt make these numbers up

http://elections.gmu.edu/Turnout_2010G.html

[sabrina 1]

83. We're not talking about turnout. We're talking why Democrats

lost Independents in 2010. Ask Nancy Pelosi, she addressed the possiblity of losing that election to the WH BEFORE it happened. The Dem Leadership lost that election and they have done nothing to show they have learned from that disaster so far other than try to blame the voters. A real winning strategy! No, the voters are in no way responsible for 2010 and will not be responsible if it happens again in 2012 and there will be plenty of screaming about it if Republicans do win, from those of us who tried to warn them, for going three solid years now.

But keep pushing that failed strategy, as was happening exactly the same way, you guys haven't even learned to change the talking points yet, well, except for substituting the ridiculous 'pony' garbage with 'unicorn' I guess. I really hoped we would see better than this after the disaster of 2010, but it looks like the same old losing strategy from the DLC/New Dems/Third Wayers all over again.

[sudopod]

54. You should at least pull my hair if you're going to talk to me like that. nt

[mod mom]

62. We lose elections because of party members that don't support the platform.

and didn't bother to guarantee fair & verifiable elections.

[SwampG8r]

64. why would you spread divisive bull like that?

dems showed in 2010
independants did not show
dont blame the losses on democrats
using that election to browbeat progressives is bull on its face
we are the ones who ALWAYS vote
thats as bad as blaming everything on obama
we showed up but congress had lost the huge turnout of 2008
blaming democrats or progressives for the 2010 losses just feeds the right wing
maybe if we could find ways for like minded people to work better together we could all have "unicorns that fart glitter"
which is about as insulting a thing as could be said about the honest VOTING democrats you are addressing

[Hawkowl]

67. Hand out the glitter then.

If the Dems keep losing elections because they won't deliver the glitter to their constituencies, then who are the real fuck-ups? Leadership.

[SusanaMontana41]

74. That's a mischaracterization and you know it, but stick with it if you want.

Welcome to the DU party, anyhow! :hi:

[Bake]

80. Soc Sec and Medicare are now a glitter-farting unicorn?

Some of us don't think so. Some of us think those are core Democratic ideals.

Bake

[muffin1]

82. Not anymore, they're not.

We've changed on LOTS of things - renditions and torture, tax cuts for the top 2%, environmental regulations, unnecessary wars, Patriot Act, etc. Keep up, would ya? ;-)

[Bake]

85. Ya know, I'm trying to keep up ...

But it gets hard when Washington Dems run away from traditional Democratic ideals faster than I can run to bash them over the head!

Bake

[tallahasseedem]

8. So what?

Un-subscribe and then go explain to those who will be hurt be a Republican administration why you want Ponzi Scheme Perry to win.

18. It took a few but I managed to

After telling them why

[Enthusiast]

25. I have yet to unsubscribe.

But I am shocked that he would have the gall to send me this bullshit asking for donations after what they have done.

[Enthusiast]

26. K&R!

Me too.

[movonne]

27. Who are you going to support for president????

[Sheepshank]

28. Thank god...you ARE leaving, right? n/t

[Pisces]

33. See ya, true Democrats will continue to work hard.

[NorthCarolina]

59. "True Democrats"???

Obama himself isn't even what you would call a "True Democrat". I have to ask, do you consider third-way DLC New Dems to meet your definition of what a "True Democrat" is?

[madamesilverspurs]

36. Gawd, this stuff is getting boring.

[Wait Wut]

38. That's because you're insensitive.

The OP is having a serious problem disengaging or unsubscribing or sumthin and you have zero sympathy. :spank:

[treestar]

65. And ineffective

OP shoots self in foot.

And looks for attention from the POTUS.

Withholding one's vote from the most liberal candidate who can win provides nothing but temporary emotional satisfaction. While progress continues or is driven backward if Republicans win.

This board has explained over and over why that is stupid and doesn't even get one much attention, other than a few posts in support here.

[Wait Wut]

37. o.O

Uh. Okay? I tried unsubscribing from this one catalog company once. It took forever. I finally realized my browser wasn't compatible with their site...or the other way around. Anyway, I finally logged on using a peecee :puke: and IE :puke: :puke: and it worked.

Good luck with your unsubscribing adventure! :hi:


Edit to add: I'm craving brownies.

[Raine]

49. I'm still subscribed but it goes directly into the bulk mail folder. nt

[DevonRex]

50. Isn't that special. Bye. Nt

52. shall i rush thee to the fainting couch? i'll have wadsworth fetch the smelling salts.

53. That's a beautiful and heartbreaking story.

[Inuca]

56. OMG

They optionally asked you why you want to unsubscribe! This in and by itself says so much about who this Guy is!

[livetohike]

58. Well then see ya!

I'm sure you're support will be missed. Good luck finding that candidate who meets all your emotional needs.

[mod mom]

60. I'm not lifting a finger, walking one step or contributing one cent.

I regret taking away so much time from my kids/family for an administration that is working to protect the wealthy over working people. He had so many people backing him when he was first elected but he opted to side w corporations. Threats won't work for me . He HAD a Democratic house, senate & DoJ but failed to make use of them. WHAT AN EPIC DISAPPOINTMENT!

[SidDithers]

61. I like turtles...nt

Turtles - ok. Hummingbirds - not so much.
