I haven't, and probably won't, get into any of the nastiness, name-calling, etc, but I'm with you/us all.

however~

After he has replaced the bad of the bad presidents I would think he would not be able to handle the praise. Unfortunately many just don't get facts, he has prevented this nation from attacking in Syria, Iran and Ukraine. He has ended a useless Bush barged into without an exit strategy and is now working us out of Afghanistan. He chased down bin Laden and has taken care or others who wants to harm the US.

He fought and clawed us to ACA and though it may not be perfect (should not have followed the Romney plan though I know why) it is a vast improvement over the nothing we had.

Oh, yea, he's a keeper.

you remain positive and focused on your admiration and support for our President. You are a person blessed with abundant grace and I bow to your quiet dignity.

that has to be one of the nicest things that anyone has ever said to me. I thank you.

that President Obama is in the White House. I find myself bored with the news these days; unlike the * days when I was so terrified every day that I HAD to follow the news.

I'm so surprised at the hatred leveled at democratic candidates and our president here on DU. I wonder if the Virgin Mary would get the same treatment as Hillary gets or if Jesus would be excoriated in the same way as our president. I don't know if there is some new chemical in the water that has deranged normal humans to hate all democratic candidates and the sitting president, but they sure do have a hate on.

connected.. to us and to..



TOD she~BOG

They like to taunt, they like to bait.

Haters gonna hate, but they're too late.

TWO terms!

Heh, heh.

You know it makes 'em mad!

They sure did!

Haters gotta hate...



Thanks MADem!

got goin' there, MADem.

I like that FACT! you posted!

>>>>Fact!<<<<<

Fact!

Damn I love that video. Michelle~

Thanks freshwest.

If we stand alone we have nothing. If we stand together we can move mountains.

Excellent graphic! We stood together and we won...the GOP?! They were so visually impaired. Sad that...not. Our team won.

In 2014~



GOTV 2014!

I certainly hope so!

They call us dumb. They call us blind followers. They accuse us of parroting political talking points without understanding them.

And here, all this time, I thought that stupidity and blind obedience to authority figures were traits they admired. They sure seemed proud of being stupid when W was the change-candidate.

I'll never forget during the run-up to Election 2000, all I ever heard out of right wingers was:

"Prezdint? Ah don' want no smart feller. Ah jes' want somebuddy Ah kin have a beer with!"

Fine, shitheads. You got a National Drinking Buddy (and look how that turned out...)

We have a President. One of the best in US History. You don't like it? Bite me!

Proud member of the BOG!

Thank you. I needed you here tonight.

Yes we do~ and to those that think otherwise, I say FU and the horse you rode in on.

I didn't want to stink up our site here.



Tikki

But don't you know freshwest - pointing out WHO and WHAT that man is and stating those reasons for hating him . . .

It's bad. You can't do that at DU!

to build on, then their motives are suspect. If just half the effort were to be put into constructive work, then we'd all be moving foward gangbusters. I would gladly vote for this President again. He doesn't always do what I'd like him to when I'd like him to but I also realize that we have three branches of government, two of which are about as useful as some of the posters we have at DU.

You nailed it Skidmore!

Sometimes I withhold comments for some posters because I don't want to descend into profanity. My mama taught me that if I couldn't find something polite to say to someone, then to hold my tongue. But it is hard. I do get sick of the endless griping, grousing, and malcontent caterwauling with no recognition of the nuances of circumstances or realities of the law, process, or structure of government (or perhaps it is a persistent engagement in fantasy).

Mine tried, however I slip once in awhile.

And when you have words like this...

I'm taking a beating out there Cha - bunch of people are so blinded by their professional victimhood they can't even SEE the word Republican in a post these days. They just assume someone is talking about them!

Pssst - you responded to the post in question. But understood what I wrote - you have reading comprehension skills!

It's just not as cool to be part of Democratic Underground any more. I am so sick of all the anti-Obama posters and their bull shit. Hillary is going to catch just as much if she becomes our nominee. I will also be staying away from General Discussion. I'm not even going to go and check up on the post I made a few days ago. This sight has killed my spirit.

I hear you and I am so sorry that this site has killed your spirit. Don't let the bullies get to you. Please don't, they are not worth it, but you are.

Yes, Hillary will definitely get trashed here. It's already happening. Well surprise surprise she is a woman after all and women are respected here the same way Obama is. However there is a great core of people here, they are why I stay. I'll tell you this, we are somedays able to shout them down. Not always, yet we have a voice that is getting stronger everyday.

You may well want to check the responses to you from your post the other day. I wrote Cha and freshwest to let them know you stopped by. They responded to you there.

At least you have the BOG still, stop in once in awhile you are missed here.

You can always mail me and if you decide not to read here I will send you my email.

I hope you are well and I wish you all the best this world has to offer.

Love ya~

he's done better than I expected, in 08 I figured the next president was either going to be black or female and the rightwing loons would go batshit crazy. I voted for Hillary in my primary but it was a difficult vote for me because of her Iraq vote, the only reservation I had about Obama was I didn't think he had enough experience to handle the gop. I thought he had plenty of experience to be president so I didn't hesitate a minute to help campaign for him because I'm not insane I did vote for him. In retrospect, I think Obama handled the gop just fine, I don't get the anger that he should have stood up to them, what makes people think he hasn't stood up against the rightwing loons? He's a cool guy, he's not going to yell and carry on like a rabid badger. He got stuff done inspite of the worst treatment of a president I've ever seen.
And not that this makes any difference at all but I adore Michelle Obama, I think she is a terrific 1st lady.

So glad that you are here in the BOG and on DU.

president obama gave the gop 5 years to work with him...so he is being the true trailblazer he is and finding ways to enact laws by executive order that truly move the country forward on issues of social and economic justice despite the clown poo poo slung at him. there is so much more to be done and he knows it - yet it does not stop him from doing what he can.

so glad we can come here for some group hugs and to express how we have his back. i hope he has a place he can go to recharge, too.

BOG

in a good way, hopemountain

and two bright beautiful daughters to recharge himself.

It amazes me that he just shakes it off and moves on.

Clown poo poo.. yes indeed he has to wipe that from his shoes daily!

Thank you hopemountain.

BOG

And the refusal to deal with the fact that the Republicans still have power.

President Obama has done wonders considering the Republicans and that they will do anything to get in the President's way. And I do think it's that they can't stand having a black man in that position. Why use the filibuster every time? That chart showing the number of filibusters is very telling.

Yes, I agree. They can't stand a black man in the White House, nor can they stand the progress he has made.

I say to bad to the whiny wimps, cause they got nothing!

it might drain the swamp a little elsewhere. I've already just about decided not to re-up for DU next year, at least not as a paid member. I'd miss the BOG and the Catholic group too much. But I'm starting to have my doubts about financially supporting the rest of DU because SO MUCH IS A CESSPOOL.
