(1,135 posts)to disagree with President Obama so much?
I don't agree 100% with him. Among other things, I am disappointed mostly with his position on the kind herb. That is not only a very personal one for me, but one that many need to have changed by him. Maybe when the time is right, he will.
Compared to many past presidents, none have come close to the progressive changes he's brought about. NO where close! The list is amazing! For that I'm grateful that I voted and worked in campaigning for him.
But yet, I read from you Dawg and so many, that it's never enough. It appears you expect perfection.
Since no one has a clue as to what it must be like to be in his position and the reality of how much power he truly has, I can't help but wonder how much idealism has to do with what you demand from him. Which at my age, I know a thing or two about.......
I rarely read praise for him here, other than the Obama group, BOG. Which seems really bizarre to me when the focus is all things democratic and we do have a democratic president who, I believe (from his current accomplishments) has done much of what most democrats wanted, before he was ever elected.
I'm certainly not saying that he doesn't deserve criticism sometimes, but I think that here, it's on overload and now considered to be the new cool. The right must just love reading that here. It's like f'in red meat to them..................
