support of our President. I understand where you come from...and while I have problems with War/Indefinite Detention and Wall Street Banksters and lack of getting Holder's Butt on prosecutions....I will vote for Obama. And, while I want Obama to know that there are many Democrats who will keep holding him to his promise....that your views of him were appreciated and that I understand what you are saying.

And thanks for doing this post. What many DU'ers fail to understand is that those of us upset with him for more wars and policies that we thought we elected him to fight against that were done under Bush....I DOES NOT MEAN....that we would ever cast a vote for Mitt Romney.

It's just we feel that Obama needs to hear some of the "other Dems" views and we hope in his Second Term he addresses our Democratic Issues.

K&R...for a wonderful tribute...and it's much appreciated to read your words.
