I have noticed on Facebook..........

There isn't anyone posting warm and fuzzy things about Obama anymore, including me. Not even trying to defend him........ I don't have many FB Friends and am wondering if anyone else has noticed this, and if so, what does it mean?

the president. He is doing his job and the republicans are doing their job to discredit him. So nothing new to me.

I have been thinking of quiting for months now, just have to do it. Cept for just a handful of people I get a kick out of, that is why I'm hanging on but I hardly dialogue except if I find a good toon, and it's got to be Good, not like some people that post about 26 a day and most of them mediocre.

But really, most of it is just garbage rubbish trash I don't give a darn about. And it creeps me out.

and it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. You only show as much as you choose to put out there.

But, I increasingly feel at a loss to defend some of his decisions that so closely parallel those of the Bushies*...

But, rather than excoriating him, I just kind of fantasize about having a one-on-one with him to try to get him to explain these decisions and how he, a constitutional scholar, can seemingly not share my concerns regarding the erosion of civil rights. It is really a paradox for me, even while I still support him and tend to give him benefit of the doubt, even where I have serious questions.

It holds little interest to me.

I prefer the info I find at DU.

PBO is not losing support, he is gaining it.

the timing to not be questionable. We have had nothing but anti-government scandals and outrage lately. Hate the irs, hate the big brother govt't, etc. Sorry, not looking for a conspiracy but it sure looks like this info coming out may serve a broader purpose. I'm still pro-Obama. Those who aren't may be believing too much of the press and not enough of the facts.
