2014, my fears

It's already starting.

I'm watching Bill Press and he like typical democrats and those on this site are jumping on President Obama over the latest rumored package.

I'm already starting to see posts saying, "If he does this, I'm staying home" threads.

My biggest fear is that we're going to have a repeat of 2010 where we will have more radical right wingers come in because a third of our base is going to be mad at President Obama.

Instead of being mad at him, I challenge each and everyone of you to take that anger, call your elected officials, every day and keep putting pressure on them to say no to any changes in Social Security.

But, no it's easier to make threads condemning this man. I would love to be proven wrong about democratic underground but if I keep seeing negative threads about President, I may half to considering bowing out for a while. I just can't stand to see us pissing on Obama instead of forcing him to see things from outside.

The nation says that they want him to compromise but yet we fuss like six year old. He can't do anything it's up to congress to act on it. Did it ever occur to you guys that maybe he's doing this to get us energized to do something? I'm disabled, I'm on SS but I don't freaking over react at every rumor I hear.

So frustrated with this place.
