11. It happens every election and will continue until we can elect a true liberal.

President Obama is pretty moderate and has been patient with the republicans, who people here pretty much wanted to hang for treason after eight years of Bush (I am no exception). However, having worked in state government under two republican Governors and a republican state Congress, I've been forced to learn how to work with the enemy, even if they consistently prove that they can't play nice. So, I appreciate the President in ways some here have not yet been forced to through employment or otherwise.

I suspect, however, that even if we were to elect a Green Party President, some here would still grumble. Big Tent, diverse population, all that. Anyway, you might as well get used to it and try not to take it personally.
