Isn't now the time to be critical with our party and our president?
While it's been nice having Obama in the white house, he is now a lame duck president. We are beginning to see candidates for the Democratic nomination announcing and trying to define themselves. Isn't now the time to be critical of current policy and try to influence the candidates positions?
This came to mind on this jury I served on...

Explanation: I don't completely disagree with the poster. Certainly not hide worthy. Between now and the primaries we have time to really let our frustrations with the party be heard in hope of a candidate actually listening. It is time to remove our noses from the collective party ass and discuss the issues...Why do you fear open exchange of ideas alerter? Why do you hate what liberalism is all about?
