1. This is one of the problems I have with the Obama administration

I voted for him again, I contributed way more than I could afford to his campaign. The alternative was so much worse. But that doesn't mean I am going to start blindly accepting everything Obama or his administration does. I don't and I won't, any more than I would have accepted it from the previous administration. That is the criteria I use.

2. We Dems who want out of Iraq/Afghanistan (including our Indy Contractors) definitely want our Voice

because we were forced to vote for Obama because the Alternative with Romney was so TERRIBLE.

We did it.. It's important to let Our Voices out...now that the "Vote for Obama" and he Won...is now over. We have Four More Years...we who want out of these Wars and the money to go to Re-Building Infrastructure and Bringing Jobs for Workers Home...is OUR Pay off for voting after we were trashed after 2008.

Just saying.....

3. I know that all of us are so happy to have Obama rather than Romney...but our HOPES
Thu Nov 8, 2012, 07:44 PM

are still waiting to be addressed and so it's important now that we voted for Obama (those of us trashed by Rahm and silenced during the latest Campaign...have OUR VOICE to speak out.

I believe this is within the DU Rules. It's after the Election...and I voted for Obama and others did who were so hurt and disappointed by the Rahm Tactics and the Continuation of Bush Policies and the Verification of most of Bush's Policies about War and Subversion of Law about Wall Street, Whistleblowers, Climate Change, Unending Wars and and Bringing Jobs Home and No More
"Free Trade Agreements" that send our jobs OVER THERE!

So...this is a heartfelt post from those of us who did our best to get an Obama Second Term...and now need to have the Four Years to Express our Opinion.\

Just saying if you can understand where many of us Long Time Voting Democrats...of an age over 55 are Coming rom ...along with Occupy Wall Street and other Movements like Environmental that are Working and Working for CHANGE.

We hope Obama will in his "Second Term" finally address our Issues. (Along with LGBT and Minority Rights!)
