Please, please, PLEASE do everything you can to get this man reelected...

This is not going to an easy battle. He is going to come under fire for his remarks today. But we can't let up. We can't stand down. We must fight harder and do more than we've ever done to see this one through.

God Bless You, Mr. President.

Now please, please, please go kick some elephant this November!

pressuring him to do this now before instead of after the election shouldn't of happened. I will vote for the president because I believe in this issue. I was and am willing to wait. But now I dunno if he can get reelected. I hope this doesn't have an impact. Sorry I know many will disagree.

More gridlock ahoy! I believe that action is only going to happen if one party sweeps the presidency, house, and senate. Even if Republicans get all 3, politics won't be such a dull boring blur anymore. Their failures will further vindicate our Democratic policies. I'm not optimistic myself, seeing the barrage of Super PAC spending on Campaign ads and Voter Disenfranchisement laws that turn the election in Romney's direction, as well as the normal swing states, and undecided voters, who usually vote against incumbents.

I'm not impressed with the Obama administration's sheepish caving to rabid wingnuts on a number of issues (Most notably civil liberties and the Keystone XL pipeline), but I'll take him over Romney any day. He's the guy that got Bin Laden after all. A vote for Romney is basically a vote for the austerity policies that incited riots in Europe. Anything but austerity!
