Our President gets it. I stand behind him 100% on his position to

[The Wielding Truth]

get this done and his push to make the Republican political thugs get to work to make our country run again!

1. I stand with the President too.

2. Yup, what you said. K & R

14. He doesn't buy the Republican smoke and mirrors. He's not perfect,but

he is a very good leader.

[Enrique]

15. he buys some of their smoke and mirrors

and sells it too.

[The Wielding Truth]

28. I think he is past that now. Let's give him reason to go with us.

[dennis4868]

4. did you forget that you are in DU?

We are suppose to blindly hate Obama and everything he stands for and if he says something good (i.e., we need to strenghen SS) you are suppose to turn it agaist Obama (i.e., Obama wants to gut SS)....

[Dept of Beer]

5. That knee-jerk Obama Haters bla bla routine is so tired.

If the President does his job he should be congratulated for it.

If he does something questionable then he should be called on it.

[dennis4868]

8. the problem is, Obama is doing....

his job (www.whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com) but many here expected complete and perfect change by January 20th, 2009 at 12pm and that Obama is a king and can simply igniore congress and can pass any law he wants at any time...

24. Ooh look, a false dichotomy! Gather 'round, kids!

:eyes:

Maybe--just maybe--the spectrum of responses to policy decisions by an elected public official is a little broader than "LOVE IT" and "HATE IT," don'cha think?

[ZombieHorde]

47. You have failed to understand the DU criticisms of President Obama. nt

[graywarrior]

6. A lot of us here got it that he gets it.

I never had any doubt about what he'd do for us.

[dennis4868]

9. I know...

I wasn't referring to you and some others here who think rationally....

[graywarrior]

10. I know, I was agreeing with you.

:hi:

[The Wielding Truth]

16. We at DU are supercritical of our leaders. Good thing. Yet, I see with

our support he will do the best for this economy.

[Tarheel_Dem]

:kick:

[great white snark]

11. Agree. K&R.

[Enrique]

12. what does that mean?

do you know what you stand behind him on?

[Dept of Beer]

18. My president: right or wrong?

:eyes:

[The Wielding Truth]

21. No. Right now I see him doing the best he can for our economy.

I support him.

He has been slow on standing here. He is here now. I support that.

He is not perfect. Who is? My president? Yes. I think with our support he will continue to improve and so will this country.

[Dept of Beer]

22. How many *wars is the USA in right now?

Non-declared wars mind you.

[Enrique]

23. you mean you trust him

thats different than supporting his position, as you said. You said you supported his position, but then listed a bunch of emotional stuff about Obama. Im seeing a lot of that under Obama, a lot of people supporting him without seeming to care about what hes doing.

[The Wielding Truth]

19. I see him wrangling and pushing for common sense in solving

our economic troubles. I see him not being a push over for his so called Colleges and I see his brilliant mind encompassing and simplifying a convoluted mess made by the Republicans. I like it and I feel he needs my support and I am giving it.

I'm not sure of details. I feel he is turning the ship and I will help him tug it in our direction. He has been true to most of his rhetoric and he has my confidence.

I also feel that with our help,after the ship starts back on course and we are working with him, he will start remodeling the interior with better social changes and perhaps the insanity of the Republicans will be put back in it's place.

Especially, if FOX News is stopped.One can only hope and work for positive change.

[cliffordu]

13. Yep - I do to.

When the R's have to break their treasonous pact with Grover Norquist, they'll be fucked.

[Vattel]

20. I would like to stand behind him and push him to the left.

Seriously, though, I don't even know what his position is. So how can I satnd behind it?

[The Wielding Truth]

26. He is working to reach consensis in a country that has been saturated

with big business lobbies and entrenched corruption. It is a huge job that he is tackling. He is playing politics to help us. It is not as honest as we would like and it stinks sometimes. I have seen how he works and it is classically presidential. He does not micro manage and he respects those who are in the political game, yet he expects results that help us.

[Ikonoklast]

25. I Am One Dumb Mother Fucker.

I stand with this president.

[The Wielding Truth]

27. It is dumb not to. At this point we need to show him that when he stands ,we stand.

[Ikonoklast]

29. "The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on."

Lots of little yappy dogs out there.

[Phx_Dem]

31. Ditto!

:patriot:

[slay]

33. How many times will you let Obama screw you over before you say enough?

cuts to SS? cuts to medicare? is he going to have to kick down your door and throw you in jail personally? whatever. this guy lost my support when he screwed us on real health care reform. and gave tax cuts to billionaires. and continued very costly, pointless wars for profit, etc. ugh.

[bhikkhu]

42. You mention three things, which are all debatable

He got the best health care reform passed that he could, with the votes that he could get. If congress were different, we might have has the votes for a public option, but what he did was what no other president in 40 years of trying had been able to do - the first solid foot forward to universal health care. While its not everything we could dream, its hardly screwing us.

The tax cut extensions were a trade off made on a hard deadline to get unemployment benefits extended. Ending those benefits would have been screwing us; letting the tax cuts ride for another day was a rotten but expedient compromise. Note that they are back on the bargaining table again as we speak.

He has done what he promised in Iraq, and wound it down to almost nothing. He has done what he promised in Afghanistan as well - with a ramping up, and now a drawing down. I don't disagree that its a pointless war, but its certainly not a "war for profit". At least we got Bin Laden.

[rury]

34. HUGE K&R!

[Tx4obama]

35. K&R

:kick:

:patriot:

[Warren Stupidity]

36. I don't.

I will not support any proposal that cuts SS, Medicare, or Medicaid.

[slay]

39. Same here

i don't get why others would either. it's disgusting - and sooo not the Democratic Party that i know.. or used to know i guess i should say.

[Top Cat]

[Wait Wut]

38. Ditto!

Motherfuckers unite!!!

40. He also said he wouldn't renew the Bush tax cuts.

But he did.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[inna]

45. omg.

what is it they say about bliss?...

[tomp]

46. you're either naive or complicit in the problem.

those are the only options to explain such a statement.

[The Wielding Truth]

49. Neither. Just showing appreciation to our Pres. for a moment of non

compliance with the Republican Party which would rather destroy and dismantle than promote the general welfare.

[tomp]

50. you can deny all you want.

you're either naive or complicit.

[ZombieHorde]

48. I emailed the White House a letter of encouragement concerning his current hard stance against the

Republicans.

[The Wielding Truth]

51. That's terrific!

[ZombieHorde]

52. I want to encourage behavior I like, and discourage behavior I don't like. nt
