What Good Can Come From Criticizing the President at This Time? None! [View all]
No one at the DU was a bigger supporter of Barack Obama than I was in 2008.
No one was probably harder on him during his first year than I was.
But there is a time to criticize when it can do some good and there is a time to just suck it in, and get on board and get with the team.
Yes, the team. That would be the Democratic Party and our President.
Our team.
The Supreme Court is at stake.
The working class is at stake.
The future of America's children is at stake.
The care of our elderly is at stake.
A potential war with Iran is at stake.
The economy, now coming back, is at stake.
The American Dream is at stake.
At this late date, -- make that at this late hour, listen to me: no post at any website critiquing the President's speeches, debate performance or how his campaign is doing is helpful. It hurts. Everyone from the President and Vice President and his Campaign Staff down to the smallest precinct workers need to hear not a discouraging word.
It's time to stand together.
Everyone of us here at the DU have our differences. And that is a good thing.
But for the love of god, can we please, please put our differences aside for these last weeks and cheer on our President who NEEDS our support and love. He's earned that support by the way.
Stand with our President!
