2. It's "People who think Obama must not be criticized" and "People who think for themselves".

7. and Obama himself said he expects and welcomes differing opinions, he's not the problem
imo, he's made some choices i do not agree with but i think he would be disappointed if people kept their moths shut.

6. I don't necessarily agree with Krugman but if we ignore him aren't
we simply sticking our heads in the sand?

I don't understand the point of pretending a nobel prize winner's opinion doesn't exist.

8. Don't think of it as division. It's more like a ballet
or a living sculpture.

16. No, It's Still The Same "I Support Obama" And The "I'll Always Find Some Fault In Obama" Camps
I don't expect that to change any time soon.

21. I like both Obama and Krugman. -- just because one might disagree
with either on specific issues, does not mean we do not respect them
and support them. Making everything absolute --you are with us or
you are against us is GOP tactic.

22. It's not Obama I have a problem with
It's every last fucking Wall Street Criminal Vampire. And that includes Geithner, Summers, Rubin, and who ever the fuck told Obama that those useless bastards could fix the economy that THEY helped destroy.

23. It's the grown ups vs the children again
the children say don't criticize (fill in blanks) and don't defend the person (fill in blanks) is criticizing because you are stifling dissent by doing so.

The grown ups realize that having a discussion means having some back and forth.

Today (fill in blanks) is Krugman. It's been Obama, Hillary, Kerry, Nader, Dean or any number of people in the past.
