Each 'side' is represented but I see little trying to understand what the other side is saying.

If someone wants to support Obama why call them 'cheerleaders'?
If someone wants to criticize Obama why call them 'trolls'?

Neither term leads to understanding and only hardens each side to their own point of view.

To be honest, because this IS Democratic Underground I'd rather see someone with all-out support of Pres Obama than someone who can find absolutely nothing positive to say (and I understand that among those that criticize this type of person is not common but they do exist here).

Please, let's all police our own response to this situation and try to approach each other as people who have the same goals for our country... jobs, equality, peace. If we can't achieve this here how can we achieve this in the real world?
