Help.... It's Crushing Me....
The bus I've been thrown under, that is.

The current administration needs to remember exactly how it came to be in power, and more importantly who put them in power.

That would be us, the ones currently under the bus.

4. Pardon?
I have voiced my opinion about this I agree with as well as disagree with. Sometimes they make me happy, sometimes they make me angry.

Today, I am angry.

11. What made you angry today?
"Today, I am angry"

Gibbs said the professional left is not representative of the progressives who organized, campaigned, raised money and ultimately voted for Obama.


Progressives, Gibbs said, are the liberals outside of Washington “in America,” and they are grateful for what Obama has accomplished in a shattered economy with uniform Republican opposition and a short amount of time.

16. Simple.
Because I agree with the professional left in that the White House should have fought harder, done more, and compromised less on issues most important to the people that put them into office.

The Professional Left speak for us. If you attack them, you attack the people whose message they are delivering.

22. I am not angry,
Edited on Tue Aug-10-10 04:58 PM by SunsetDreams
more frustrated than anything. I'm frustrated with the makeup of Congress that we have right now. We are simply not going to get Leftist Purity out of this congress. We don't have a super majority. Congress is where legislation happens, if we want Leftist Purity, we need more Liberals in Congress.

Because of the makeup of Congress, compromise, unfortunately has to happen, in order to get ANY legislation passed.
That's what Obama has to deal with.

25. They start too low.
You can't give up almost everything before you START to compromise. That is the problem.

23. The professional Left doesn't speak for me......
And in fact, I'm glad they are getting their just desserts.
To believe that one can criticize constantly about everything,
while dismissing the positives and somehow never hear about it
is loony!

32. I'm glad they are being criticized........since that's all that they do.
FDL and the other overcritical assholes who get paid to say what they want
and who equate Obama to Bush are fucking crazy or possibly are on drugs. period.
I agree with Gibbs on this. The thin-skinned professional Left who criticize
because they feel entitled to whatever need to get a grip!

35. Please make it die already! If it is one phrase that I clearly
fucking never want to hear again, it might just be that. Let's be more original...I was pushed into an incinerator or something.

7. I love when people pretend to be ignorant.
Really makes me laugh. But since we're playing that game, yup, I did it all by myself. And I was talking only about myself in my post.

A short bus, if you will. And I'll get over it since I'm not addicted to victimhood.

15. Look - Do You Think Obama Is Like Bush? Have You Personally Said That?........
If you did - then you deserve to be thrown under the bus. If you didn't - then quit your crying - he wasn't directing his comments at you. Don't take it personally.

Obama is nothing like Bush and anybody that says he is - probably does need a drug test.

Just go back into the archives of DU and see how DU thought of Bush.

29. It was a question, not an assumption.....
the point is that this quote, like many others, is being taken out of context,
and is being used as an excuse to complain some more.

It's quite obvious.

I just don't see that this was taken out of context. Please, explain it to me like I'm completely clueless. How was Gibbs comments not at least to some extent directed to progressives in general?

doing what it's told? Easy fix.
