Reply #123: For me...

...it's like the "doom and gloomers" as you choose to refer to them, act like they're the only ones speaking out, and campaigning against this president, ignoring the fact that he is being attacked by a loud, and seemingly influential right wing faction with the help of, and god help us, some Duers believe they're on our side, the more influential MSM. If this president fails, and he is not re-elected in 2012, the people, and I remind some there is life outside DU, will not be in any mood to give another democrat another four years. They're not going to demand that Dennis Kucinich run, and it will be a long time before they give the left another chance. They're going to follow the pendulum once more to the right who have been telling them all along Obama is bad, and he will fail. I wish someone like Kucinich would be accepted, but that's a fairy tale in this day and time, but I'm not stupid enough to believe that Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, or Bobby Jindal will be a better alternative than Barak Obama. So go ahead, tear Obama down, and when there is another republican in the White House in 2012, and I read the celebrations of how progressives "won", the only response you'll get from me is "Yeah, you won, but at what cost?" At least four more years of right wing lunacy which we may or may not recover from, but the price will haunt us forever. I just don't think it's worth not looking beyond the tip on one's nose. Thanks.
