I've got high standards, but I'm not a fool.

Just wanted to set this straight.

OK?

2. I've criticized him too
but economically my husband and I can't afford 4 years of Insane McSame.

3. I can't either. That's why I'm reiterating here that I do still support Obama.
Dissent on some positions and actions is not the same as disloyalty.

5. Congratulations! There seem to be many here who have dedicated themselves
to criticism side of that equation, but you rarely hear them mention anything about working to get him elected. Sometimes it makes you wonder who they actually prefer.

7. Thank you. You get it.
I don't want a perfect person or a messiah either - I just want someone who is more than halfway competent, smart, decent, and gives a shit about their constituents.

8. I hate, HATE his vote today. And it stings that Hillary voted against it.
That being said, Obama is the best choice we have right now, especially if you seriously consider the alternative. I still think I'm going to keep a cyanide capsule in my mouth on election day.

9. there is nothing to set straight
it is not your fault that a clique of Obama supporters can't distinguish good faith criticisms from bad faith ones
