Reply #4: I don't need a bunch of "acts of dissobedience(sic)" thanks anyway.

Protest all you want, if you want, but don't ask me to join you. I disagree with your positioning of the party, too. We run the gamut from conservative Democrats to very liberal ones. Big tent, and all that.

The President has no ability to change law. That's Congress's job--if you're going to protest, you might as well aim at the people who craft legislation, rather than blaming the guy who signs or vetoes it.

All Obama can do is nudge the Congress. He has a lot of stuff on his plate right now, and four years to do the nudging.
