Do You Support Obama Isn't The Question. The Question Is...Does He Support You?
This is an individual issue, yes for some, no for others. In the coming days and weeks a lot of us will answer this question based on the decisions made affecting all of our futures.

1. Easier than that is "Do you support this policy".
Personality has nothing to do with it. Far too many are wedded to the idea, the personality of Obama that they are blinded. They refuse independent critical thought for each issue. They defer to Obama as a leader. I don't understand those who are so willing to give up their critical thinking to any individual.

4. That Is Another Question That Needs Answering
What will be the policies that come out of the meetings? Who will stand with us?

2. No way nor does the current DLC support me.
We need a revolution within our party too. The old guard of aging white gentlemen have decided to slip on over to the conservative side. This is NOT the Democratic Party we grew up with anymore and it isn't even a close relative.

9. He does not support me
I'm not a lobbyist for the banking sector, the extractive industries, Big Pharma, Big Health, Big Oil, or a defense contractor. That is Obama's base, and the only people he cares about.

11. Thank for getting to the essential question. Rec'd.
I already took care of *my* part of the "support" bargain when I voted for him.

12. No. But, I'm not a corporation, and no longer a member of the MIC.
