A red House should bring out the fight in Obama, or he may be challenged from within in 2012

I'm giving President Obama the benefit of doubt, that he will kick ass like he did in 2008. And when we does, just like in 08 - I'll work like hell to re-elect our president.

I doubt many Dems would tolerate being buddy-buddy with those racist bigots, particularly those radical wingnuts soon to take residence on the Hill.

But Mr. President, the landscape has changed. No compromise with the Rand Pauls of the world!!! If it means gridlock, so be it! You fight - we will fight with you every step of the way! There is no other option --- and it's your best path to another 4 years!

1. I have no idea what will happen, or what Obama will do.

I lost faith in America in 1994, and that loss of faith has been renewed tonight.

3. We still have the presidency and the senate...

For my 2 kiddos - one already an adult, I have to keep fighting. We need you in the fight - even having lost your faith. We remain IN POWER!!!

6. You don't negotiate with terrorists

TP = terror.

Obama = a firewall.

I see no middle ground to negotiate a damn thing. Some things are too profoundly wrong to NOT fight for.

If Obama was ever to draw a line, now is the time. I hope he can and will!!!
