Reply #40: Depends on how you define the base. [View All]

Overall the base is very supportive. They are just not heard from the reps they elect. I also don't think that DU really defines the base as a whole. Just an aspect of it---and because we have this filter (DU)---it would seem at times that Obama has enemies here. But even here there are a good number of people who support him on here. And others are critical with reason---I mean I go a bit nuts when I hear him on offshore drilling and of course I question his stance on Patriot Act and everyone critical of him on Education has a valid point. While there may be a good number who are just irrational and just hate the guy---but I see a number of those are trolls here.
