It's time for this destructive meme about shutting up during elections to stop,

157. My two cents

I think we have a right to criticize..and there is a time for that... But not now! Now its crunch time...we have to be careful criticizing the quarterback during the Superbowl..the team is set and the plays are in motion....now is the time to work together as a team to win.

But that doesn't mean we can't criticize ANYTHING.. During election season, I think the criteria should be this; Does the criticism help Obama or hurt his chances of getting elected.

Speaking for myself, I was one of Obama's fiercest critics after the debate...and believe me I caught hell from some..accusing me of being a closet Republican and more....I am still pissed at some of the really nasty remarks....but my criticism was not from the standpoint that Obama was incompetent or a liar or something similar but from the standpoint of feeling that his DEBATE strategy was wrong and if he did it again he would lose..and many others felt the same way.

I never called him stupid or or accused him of hiding something or misleading the public because that would be hurtful to the cause..but only said he needs to attack more and defend himself better..

So my point is..IMO we should watch what we say during election time and confine the criticisms to those things that we think would make him stronger..and save the rest for another day.. its the fourth quarter and this is one hell of a fight!
