2. Other: trying to reframe dissent as extreme isn't really an answer, it's just a slur. n/t

3. People near the center approve of the President. The criticism from poles is perhaps too intense.
Never said extreme. :)

4. I don't care if he is or not and by conflating the two he proves a level of stupid that I'd never
guess in a billion years.

5. I don't know what your choices mean
but I don't think Obama gives a shit about what anyone thinks, except for the Republicans.

8. 'Cause they are the same, you know. See how that works?
If you disagree with Obama, you are either far right or far left and neither one counts because the word "far" means they are weirdos, but Robert Gibbs didn't really insult you if you are the far left because he just insulted the "professional" left but that's not you so what are you whining about, no one's insulting you, you far left whiner you.

10. Not to mention that one list is of paranoid delusions, the other is legitimate issues.

So in retrospect, I'm frustrated that this sort of garbage passes for "intense criticism" making the "far left" (i.e. not DLC) and "far right" (insane) somehow on the same level.

I think he doesn't give a shit, and that he thinks he doesn't need us.
