Working with the democratic base is like herding cats..I wish you well President Obama

[Peacetrain]

You are going to need it!! (everyone is keeping count on who what and how many are in the administration from the glorious banquet that is us)

I have lost count of the number of threads that basically sum up to.. "He better pick ___________ or
all hell is about to break loose."

Well one thing is for sure.. we may be pulling in all directions, but we are never DULL!

1. LOL...I have to agree.

[Peacetrain]

4. Yep you go to freeperville, and it is the same ole same ole

"we are headed for hell in hand basket because of the democrats"

But here, we have fist bumps flying, we have each other in a head lock and are pounding out our strategies. No holds barred!

We are ready to rule!!

2. Give everyone a break. They need something to do until the inauguration.

I wouldn't sweat it too much.

5. Not sweating it at all

8. The people in the base that I know are organizing.

When have you worked with the Democratic base?

[Peacetrain]

9. I AM part of the base.

And in the DU, I would think 95% of the posters would qualify as part of the base.

11. Were you difficult to organize for the general election? I wasn't. I was easy.

I think the base tends to organize itself.

The Dem leadership, on the other hand, can be like a herd of cats. They are hard to organize. We keep trying and it looks like we got it right, maybe.

12. I was just being humorous with my op.. but yes the leadership

can be a pain :)

10. I am part of the base

and I won't go ballistic if he does not pick _____ as insert cabinet position here.

There are a few cabinet appointments that I would not like. I don't want Dick Cheney as Sec of Defense for example. Sarah Palin should not have a position in an Obama cabinet.
