Is Democratic Underground Going To Analyze The Shit Out of Every Little Decision

[berni_mccoy]

Barack Obama makes?

Really?

And you are responding with fervor to something that isn't even confirmed. Emanual's staff has denied any offer was made or accepted and MSNBC has had to make a retraction. Some people here immediately spouted off without even giving it a thought that maybe some MSNBC blogging pundit got carried away with a rumor that may or may have not been started by a malicious source. YA THINK!?!

How many times has the media tried to divide us over non-issues and bullshit. And with the first potential decision that Obama makes you're allowing the MSM to own you.

Get a grip people.

[Muttocracy]

1. Looks that way - so much for those wondering what DU would talk about starting today :)

[JaneQPublic]

2. Of course! Are you new here?

:rofl:

[cemaphonic]

14. That was my first thought too

Just wait until everyone realizes that Obama's version of bipartisanship is honest, and not just a Democratic inversion of Bush.

[ORDagnabbit]

3. I wonder why you think that? lets discuss :P

[BurtWorm]

4. Let's put that question under the microscope before we ask it.

:hide:

[OKNancy]

5. Yes, of course. There will be no honeymoon for Barack

He will be ripped apart by the purists and the whiners.

[OmahaBlueDog]

6. It's what we do!

..and we do it well!

[Lumpsum]

As opposed to blindly playing follow-the-leader?

By all means, sheeple...

[stray cat]

7. Yes - that does seem to be the way it operates with all contradictory

complaints being absolutely the only correct option

[Pyrzqxgl]

8. Yup. I sure want to discuss the hell out of every appointment.

[LSK]

9. You betcha

Thats what happens here, havn't you learned that by now?

[avaistheone1]

10. Do you prefer sheeple?

[WildEyedLiberal]

22. There is, believe it or not, a medium between "sheeple" and the holier-than-thou purity brigade

Something too many DUers don't seem to grasp.

[berni_mccoy]

24. where have I indicated that we become sheeple? Why don't you read my post

or are you one of the people here who jump to conclusions without the facts?

[On the Road]

11. As Joe the Biden Famously Said:

Yes.

[hvn_nbr_2]

41. Great answer! nt

[KathieG]

12. Yes

[Atman]

13. Hmm...let me think about that, and your motives for posting it...

Do you have an agenda? Hmmmmm?

;)

[TomClash]

15. Not me

I suspect I will probably be a Loyalist and good soldier.

[Up2Late]

16. Uhh, Yeeeeaaaah! That's sort of what we do here.

That's sort of the point of a "discussion board," otherwise this place would just be a collection of Blogs, which it's not. :silly:

[berni_mccoy]

35. Discussion is good. But attacks on Obama and Emanuel for a rumor

well, that's just half-cocked accusation that we simply don't need here.

[billyoc]

17. I predict Obama won't have a single defender left here by Inauguration Day.

[Mojorabbit]

18. I hope so

after all this is a political discussion board and the decisions politicians make affect our lives.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Yes. We're not Free Republic that obediently accepts everything without question or critique.

[Lumpsum]

26. Heh.

You sure about that?

[berni_mccoy]

28. response #24 is for you as well

[WildEyedLiberal]

20. Yes

The circular firing squad is about to burst apart at the seams - they've been holding it in for a whole two weeks. They just can't WAIT to start tearing down Democrats again.

[last1standing]

21. Would you prefer DU close up shop?

We're political junkies, this is what we do. We analyze, spout off, theorize, spout off, investigate, spout off, and then we spout off. It's what DU was founded for - it's a release valve for those of us who need a place to talk and vent.

Just as you can tell everyone to shut the fuck up, I can tell everyone to keep yammering away. Then someone can call us both morans and we can respond with some repost just as witty.

Great, isn't it? :evilgrin:

[berni_mccoy]

31. That's all good, but I've seen far too many attacks on Emanuel and Obama for a rumor today.

[avaistheone1]

23. I sure hope so because the decisions raised so far on this board have been fairly important,

[Burma Jones]

25. Yes....and teh Lounge will grow.......

[TexasObserver]

27. Yes. That's what we do. That's all we do.

---borrowed from Terminator

Gnawing on every Obama move will be par for the course for the next four years.

It is what it is.

[treestar]

29. But of course

Just like we did every campaign move or decision!

[ipfilter]

30. Is that not better than blindly following * like the freepers have done?

[berni_mccoy]

34. Respnose #24 above is for you as well.

[Blue_In_AK]

32. Of course. n/t

[bigwillq]

33. YES! It always does!

:)

[Milo_Bloom]

36. I certainly hope so!

[Crunchy Frog]

37. Yes.

Just being realistic here.

[eshfemme]

38. No duh! That's what Democrats do!

Telling Democrats not to worry is like telling the sun not to rise. It's gonna happen.

I mean, wringing our hands was all we did even while Obama was up-- it took the actual victory for that to make us pause and now we're back to it.

I say this all with the greatest affection as I share worrywart tendencies too. :)

[GreenTea]

39. YES! That's what we are here for...nothing gets by a good DUer!

[TrogL]

40. Yes. We are competent, intelligent people. That's what we do.

[crazy_vanilla]

42. and the "secret messages" encoded in Michelle's black and red dress

relax everyone, we won, let's enjoy it and let Obama take care of business :hi:
