(39,374 posts)Mindless anti-Obama sentiment on DU never had a louder and more high-profile bullhorn than the POSUCS post. That was a descent into partisanship from which he never recovered, credibility-wise, with many people here who didn't always agree with him but enjoyed reading his posts anyway.
I think he left/took a timeout at least in part because he had limited freedom of movement after that. He apologized (but not really), said something kind about the President once or twice (Cuba, e.g.) but then came TPP (told ya so!). Followed by crickets on Iran. It got stupid, and I'm pretty sure he realized it at some level. With the 24 business hours post, the door was open and he walked out, leaving as a victim rather than someone who had overplayed his hand.
