last Wednesday, the President pissed me off

83. While it is NICE that you have now given yourself permission to criticize Obama...

You should be aware that some of us that you have attacked as "concern trolls, pony-cravers, and professional left" are also people that have given a lot to Obama and criticize him from a similar sense of disappointment -maybe more than you are feeling with this but in a similar way.

In 2008, my mother and I travelled out of state to walk door to door canvassing for Obama.

My mother was on her 2nd bout of cancer and we had to walk slowly up the hills in the neighborhood. It was one of the last things we did together. She passed away not too long afterwards.

Now, here on DU, some people seem to think of me as some kind of anti-Obama troll with an agenda. In reality, my agenda is what it has always been -to push for Progressive causes and policies and to push back against right wing ones -Even if, scratch that, ESPECIALLY IF they come from our side.

I hope you can reflect on this post and perhaps see that some of those you have "demonized" (please excuse the pun) have a similar feeling to what you had here, though on a larger scale, and yet still have good overall intentions.

I hope this will effect some change in your understanding.
