In reply to the discussion: So is every complaint about Obama wrong? Or some people just don't like to hear them? [View all]quakerboy
(13,917 posts)that you tell us one single time that you personally agreed with a single complaint against President Obama's actions or choices. I wont even demand a link.
I have seen many of the critics acknowledge the victories. The DADT repeal was a big one for me. So far as I can tell, his Supreme court picks have turned out quite reasonably(the hope for more is my main reason for being willing to vote for him again). Ledbetter. Obamacare has its good points.
But I have as yet to see a single one of those individuals that I would consider Obama Defenders admit that any particular, specific, criticism has validity. Plenty of "Oh, I have my disagreements" type generality's, "not every complaint is wrong", but never a specific point, a need to WIN every argument, without fail or exception, to never admit any weakness or allow that we might need to make demands that the president change policy in any specific way.
I want to see it. I want to feel like we are all here in good faith. But It doesn't feel that way to me, and I am guessing I am not the only one.
as to 2010... I dont think DU's critics sunk us into the depths of tea party domination. If we have that kinda power... I dont even have words. 2010 was about the accomplishments or lack thereof that the Democrats controlling the Senate, House and Presidency demonstrated, combined with a desperate influx of money from the opposition, combined with a racist backlash that demanded an outlet.
