I am so disgusted with the current administration

[Peacetrain]

I will never vote for Obama again for President. (made you look )



Two and half more years of this President who has had to clean up more garbage than any President in my life time.. including Clinton after the Reagan/Bush the elder years.

Has he been perfect.. nooooo But I never ask for perfect.. I ask for doing the best you can with what you got.. and he has done that!

Much to the chagrin of those who have worked their best since day one to dismiss him as less than.. he has been able to do the impossible.

1. Obama may not be perfect but his presidency

is much better than a Romney presidency would have been.

[Peacetrain]

2. Ah Yep!

I am in 100 % agreement with you (as one of the 47% who did not count to Romney.. )

[BlueJac]

9. not much of a messuring stick.....

I could think of the change I was promised!

[99Forever]

3. Yay...

... for the "we don't stink as bad as the other guys" crowd.

[1StrongBlackMan]

4. IOWs ...

the reality based community.

So yes, Yay!

[obxhead]

5. Actually

those that cheer every breadcrumb and ignore every 100 ton stone dropped on their head are the "we don't stink as bad as the other guys" crowd.

The rest of us you intended to badmouth are the reality based community.

Is it better? Sure, but it's a matter of degrees, and we're measuring them in decimals.

6. obama won. get over it. nt

[99Forever]

22. It's called having...

... integrity and standards. Some have it, others talk about it.

7. The bar for "success" was set woefully low by GWB. BHO <<HAS>> pushed thru lots of GOP legislation,

so if you're a Republican, I guess you'd be "happy enough." Too bad we can't get a REAL DEM who actively supports the DEM Party Platform to make a run for the WH. And HRC is most assuredly NOT that candidate. This is how we know there are too many Reagan Republicans that have joined our "Big Tent."

10. +1000

[Peacetrain]

13. Seriously sad that you would call supporters of the President

republicans.. and not real Democrats.. sigh..

[JoePhilly]

18. Consider this .... what else have they got?

The folks on the left who hate Obama can't field a candidate worthy of their support.

Which makes them kind of grumpy.

[L0oniX]

20. After an idiot POTUS anyone would be better.

[hopemountain]

8. the president has certainly endured much bullshit.

sometimes, i think he made a deal at the crossroads the morning after his election. he gets to win a few social justice issues victories and make history as the first african american president.

and on that fateful morning - when the koch brothers, wall street, and the mega corporations showed him their writing on the wall they told him: he would only get what he could get; they would stall him where ever and when ever they could; and he was not to interfere with their plans to continue exploiting our economy to the last damn penny, raping america's resources and dragging the middle class and poor into the ground.

15. I agree...those "interests" have set the rules of the game

since Reagan.

Perhaps even before, as Dylan once sang: "The masters make the rules for the wise men and the fools."

There was a brief straying from the truth of this maxim in the '30s, '60s, and early/mid-'70s. Then the masters re-asserted themselves.

[TNNurse]

11. He will have my respect

Except if he allows the pipeline, then I will be pissed.

[secondwind]

12. K&R for the President and the First Lady!!!

[ZX86]

14. Obama has not been perfect. I often disagree with him.

But he keeps his eye on the prize and is playing the long game. If he would have been balls to wall for jailing banking and war criminals straight out of the gate he would still be fighting those battles. With marginal support from spineless Democrats and full on Jihad from the Republicans he wouldn't have gotten far. His goal seems to be improving the lives of average Americans and laying ground work for future improvements.

Would I have preferred him to channel Samuel Jackson and take no prisoners? Yes. But realistically he would have hampered all the successes he has made.

Bravo Barack! Bravo!

[Thinkingabout]

16. There was a lot of International cleaning which had to be done.

I never think there will be the perfect president and I may not agree with all of the decisions he may make but he has been consistent with my expectations. What I do know is the GOP Platform is not good for the USA and therefore do not agree with decision most Republicans make.

[flamingdem]

17. K&R to a cool head dealing with sociopaths who would

not care if we're dying in the streets (healthcare).

He makes it look easy, it must be rather unpleasant dealing with those cretins!

[JoePhilly]

19. And history is going to be very ...

... kind to President Obama.

2 wars. A 2nd Great Depression speeding towards us. Healthcare out of control. Social issues being won by the GOP.

By the time he leaves office, he'll have made huge amounts of progress across the board.

Those who hate him now, will not be pleased with how strong his Presidency looks 5, 10, 50 years after.

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. Many current Obama Haters will deny their present behavior to their grandchildren

It was the same with FDR, who some of these clownish goldbrickers claim to idolize (though they consistently get the history wrong). Our present crop of Obama haters on the Left are the rough equivalent of Lovestoneites.

What's that? You don't know what a Lovestoneite is?

EXACTLY.

[Adrahil]

23. I'm proud of President Obama...

.... And my support for him. He's the first candidate I actually donated money to, and the first I enthusiastically volunteered for. Have I gotten all I hope for? No. But I have seen a President who knows how to advance, even if just by inches. High minded ideals are fine land all, but in the end, we live in the real world, and we must make advances when and where we can.

24. Thank you. Me too. nt
