We're holding your feet to the fire, President Obama. Just like you asked us to.

[MinneapolisMatt]

Remember? You asked us to do that? Well we are. More than ever now.


So don't you dare get pissy with your base and other elected Democrats who give a damn about our principles. Our feet have been held to the fire since 2001.

Now maybe you know what it feels like.

1. Great post. Those people who complain that we are whining...

should read this.

He is our relected Representative and it is our job to hold his feet to the fire.

[Blue Owl]

2. hold 'em CLOSER

he's not feeling enough heat IMO.

3. Thank you

Sad when a citizen can't criticize the president.

[CakeGrrl]

14. So, do you think that "Primary the SOB!" counts as valid criticism?

I want to see where people set that bar.

Or is it OK to call him a "Son of a bitch" based on something you think he MIGHT do?

Is that valid criticism to you?

[rurallib]

15. quite a leap from what I said

thank you for putting words in my mouth.
If we do not criticize, if we follow like sheep as the Republicans do their leaders, lord knows where we will be headed.

4. i don't have a problem with that, I just wish people would quit

making up stuff.

[slay]

5. The banksters on Wall Street have tons of water to put that fire out

we're fucked. it's as simple as that.

[KittyWampus]

6. That's exactly what we should be doing. I hope DU'ers are also taking their ire out on phone calls

to their congressional reps and the White House.

[cascadiance]

7. And he needs more phone lines to hear all of us too!

Haven't been able to get through for a while now...

[MinneapolisMatt]

12. Seriously.

Busy signals all day. Just emailing my butt off.

[damntexdem]

8. Smell the scorching, feel the heat?

Time to pull those feet away and stand up like a real Democrat.

[sabrina 1]

9. It's simple. All he has to do, and the majority of Americans would

be behind him, is to say 'SS is OFF the table. It has nothing to do with the Deficit'. Then go after the Tax Cuts for the Wealthy, cutting the military budget, etc. He would win the 2012 election with a landslide if he stood up for the American people right now, who are under assault again from the far right anti-social programs, anti-poor, anti-disabled, anti-elderly Americans. It is a winning position to take to oppose such people.

So far, we have not heard that. Still trying to tie SS to the Deficit.

[MinneapolisMatt]

11. +1000000000000000000000

:applause:

[myrna minx]

16. That is why I find this whole thing so troubling. n/t

[dbt]

10. He'll chew his own legs off

before he'll listen to any of us. Dammit, I had such HOPE when I voted for him...

[donheld]

13. Not that he's paid a lick of attention to us anyway.

[VeryConfused]

17. If only those trying to torch the President did the same with Republicans

boy would that make a difference

[noiretextatique]

18. this site was created because of the bush selection

and i have been here almost since the beginning. we have been and continue criticize the idiocy of the republicon party AND also the democrats who support their idiocy.
