how I know that Obama is doing well [View all]

[scheming daemons]

When left-leaning folks feel secure in the notion that Obama will win re-election, we see more posts on DU and other Democratic sites criticizing the administration.

When Obama's numbers go down, these "criticisms from the left" tend to disappear and a circle-the-wagons kind of phenomenon takes over.


So as long as the malcontents are bashing... er criticizing... Obama frequently here, we know that they are confident Obama will win.

When the bashing of Obama stops here, it will indicate that the Obama bashers had their "holy shit! Romney might win!" moment and came around.

But by then, they will have ironically diminished the enthusiasm for Obama to a degree that he might not recover.

They will be the proverbial dog that caught the car. They will have succeeded in turning off enough Democrats to cost us the election..... then they'll say, "but wait! We didn't actually want him to lose!"

The Van Joneses, Glen Greenwalds, and countless others (you know who you are) voicing disappointment in Obama just 5 months before the election are making things easier for the GOP.

We need to unite behind the candidate that is 100 times better than the other candidate and quit aiming our arrows inward.

There are REAL barbarians at the gate. Cut this shit out before you help them overrun the castle.

Unity is required right now... because the enemy, the REAL enemy, is unified.
