Democratic Underground stands behind President Obama in his fight against the Republican Shutdown

[MrScorpio]

We also stand with Democrats in Congress, as they stand with the President.

Solidarity!

I would love an endorsement of the President and the Democrats by other DU members.

Show your love!

[notadmblnd]

[Downtown Hound]

2. In this fight, I am behind him all the way!

Don't yield one inch Mr. President. We've given way too much to these bastards already. It's time to make our stand and whatever comes is what comes.

[Hydra]

3. Best news I've heard in years

No compromise on debt ceiling. That's something I can totally get behind.

Dear GOP obstructionists: You're cooked.

[fasttense]

196. If you really stood behind this president

You would march on DC and show him your support.

If you could get out 1% of the populations out in the streets to support Obama those RepubliCONS would be hiding under their desks.

[Plucketeer]

245. IF I could leave here

and just elect to dump my responsibilities that tether me daily - AND afford to run up a tab for transportation, food and lodging - I'd be there now.

I will say that it's SO NICE to have campaign Obama back instead of placation Obama. I sure hope this one will stick around for awhile.

[Estevan]

261. Well let's do it then!

WHo's gonna organize it? Facebook pages, media etc. I'm ready to go to DC.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

4. Booyah!!

[Triana]

5. Ditto that. n/t

[roguevalley]

6. I am on his side and our dems. It is possible

to disagree on topics that matter to me without being insufficiently supportive as some might think. I think its being patriotic to disagree and make it clear when I don't support an idea. It is the unwavering stupid lemming-like inability to disagree and stand firm that got us in this mess.

I am with him and the dems on this quarter. I feel for the first time that he gets their hatred, that they will sacrifice our country and this world because they hate him. We cannot tolerate that for ten seconds.

[rurallib]

7. except for those 9 Dems that voted with Boehner last week

I am 100% behind Reid Pelosi and our congress people and of course the President!

[sulphurdunn]

113. Nine Democrats voted for this?

Do you know who? If so, please let me know.

[rurallib]

116. I may need some help

Nine dems voted not to bring up the clean CR after the shutdown started.
one from Utah, NC, W.Va., Georgia I think.
If you want names you will have to wait until tomorrow.

[sulphurdunn]

216. Thanks

I'll get the names.

[kestrel91316]

15. Count me in. I have been doing battle daily with my wacky but lovable

gun-toting, Obama-hating, Libertarian female cousin who actually wants single payer instead of teh evil Obamacare, lol.

She's actually on our side. She just doesn't realize it yet. I'm helping with that.

I get a bit tired of her endless FB posts where she passes on all the debunked crap that the RW emails a zillion times. Half the time she just does it to get my goat, lol.

[Thinkingabout]

90. Hey, I feel your pain, was de-friended by a cousin this weekend who post TP information

On HR 3200 which was not passed on FB. I pointed out it was not truthful and was blasted by her nephews, brothers and cousins. I was accused of being dumb but sent Snopes information and explained ACA was passed as HR 4872 and the $hit hit the fan. Guess I should let them continue their lies and how "scary" it sounded. If I should ever run across her again I will apologize since I can tell the truth and stand tall.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

273. Don't bother sending Snopes facts to RWers. Their dear leaders, Rush, Fox,

etc.. have already told them that Snopes is a liberal conspiracy owned by George Soros. The bubble is all-encompassing now.

[Thinkingabout]

297. You have fallen for more RW talking points, check it out. I don't believe much of the RW

talking points especially when if you check with truthorfiction and factcheck you find the same information.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

298. THEY have fallen for them. Not me. I think snopes pretty fair, and they

quote sources. Which, ironically, is one of the reasons one RW commenter I read online gave for not trusting them!!! Why all the sources, snopes? Pretty suspicious.

When you have people with that mindset, they are in the RW bubble permanantly.

[babylonsister]

16. I surely do!

Stand firm, Mr. President! And all Dems, support fighting the insupportable, abhorrent, classless and clueless rethugs.

Solidarity!

[demwing]

17. Can I show my solidarity instead?

I stand with the President, and with the Democrats in the House and Senate as they stand against the tyranny of extremism.

I'm loving what the President and the Dems (well most of them) in Congress are doing.

It feels so good to be proud of them!

Also, don't forget to call.write to your Congressperson. If he/she is a good Democrat thank them and encourage them to keep it up. ( just did to Chris Van Hollen.) If it's a Republican...well...you know what to do!

[randome]

57. I think Obama, being much closer to Republican realities than we are...

...has long known what he is up against. I hear DUers rail against Democrats for negotiating or attempting bipartisanship.

The shutdown and potential default shows that these GOP buffoons cannot be reasoned with. So the best you can do is keep a stiff upper lip and hope you can peel off a few moderates. You can't do that by adopting the hate tactics of your opponents.

The alternative is to clash heads with dangerous demagogues. That never works.

Solidarity!

I dearly wish we could give them a well deserved ass kicking, but this isn't a movie.

PBO knows that he must use his power carefully. I believe he's got this-- better than I could!!

I am sending Buddhist prayers regularly for his protection, courage and wisdom...and happiness.

[blue14u]

188. I agree. getting down

on their level will not work in our favor. We can stand strong,

and get our message across, and make change. If they are somewhat

reasonable, they too are just trying to find a safe place to land with all of this..

We will win hearts, constituents and seats all over this country by showing

what comes natural from a Liberal heart... Compassion, strength, and empathy for everyone's situation...

No we won't change everyone's mind, but we can change more by being understanding

of their personal plight. We all just want a peaceful life, and love. Show we care, and win many..

Show hate or rude behavior, will never bring then to our side.

Stand strong and don't budge this time MR. President..

I love seeing you like this!!!

[vi5]

58. I will always stand behind this kind of fortitude and fight.

There was never any question that I'd stand behind any Dems who stand up to Republicans in the way that ours have during this fight.

And I have already written to my Blue Dog or whatever the hell dog he is Congressman-I guess he is one of 5 Dems (Dems?) who would not sign Nancy Pelosi's letter to Boehner to just call this to the floor and vote on a clean CR.

Do not back down, Mr. President. We are behind you. And the Dems who support you!

[Siwsan]

63. I've got his back, just like he's got mine. DAMN, it feels good to say that, again!!

And, I'm so fortunate to be represented, in Washington, by great Democrats, Stabenow, Levin and Kildee.

I stand WITH President Obama. More now than EVER before. So glad he's getting comfy with his newly-strengthened spine! So glad to see many Democrats getting acquainted with their own brand new (or newly-reinforced) backbones for the first time, too!

Now, let's make sure they all get plenty of calcium supplement to keep them nourished and fortified! This isn't over yet! And we don't yet have this won and locked away.

Please note the updated and verified TOLL FREE numbers to the Capitol Hill Switchboard in my sig line below. Used 'em today and there are three that are still good.

[spanone]

129. k&r...

[cab67]

130. with you

"We won't negotiate with terrorists" has never taken on a greater meaning. There's discussing issues with mature opponents who might hold a different point of view, and there's giving in to a temper tantrum. Representative democracy is based having mature individuals who won't just throw temper tantrums if they don't get their way being in charge. Please O please let that be the case right now - I'm an ethnic Canadian, but was born and raised in this country.

137. Standing with the President....

and with those Democrats who stand with him.

Very proud of President Obama!

[Nevernose]

138. I've donated to several Democratic groups in the last few days

Because the language that Congress critters understand is money. They're like children, really, who are being potty trained. When they do well and shit in the correct receptacle, we have to give them a small reward.

Love the way Obama is handling this, though.

[Botany]

139. Got your back Mr. President

As DUer Nastyriftraft posted:

"As Obama has said, over and over, the debt limit is non-controversial. It merely authorizes paying for what Congress has already authorized. How the hell do you negotiate over that? You either pay your bills, or you don't. Negotiation isn't even an option.

I am so happy Obama is putting his foot down. This is the way it's done."

[sarge43]

226. Another one for President Obama. DU is with you, sir.

We don't need more wars. We don't need to put American soldiers in harm's way in foreign countries.

And bring the jobs home. No to TPP and surveillance of our metadata and electronic communications.

247. When almost everything else is gone, President Obama and our Democrats in Congress give me hope.

I have my policy disagreements with the President, our Senators and Representatives, on occasion, but NEVER do they seek to extinguish the light of hope that is so VITAL to those of us who have lost almost everything since Mr. Bush's Great Recession. Republicans DO seek to extinguish that light.

It doesn't get any more basic than that, folks. Trust me on this.
