Where you are coming from, and I ALWAYS wait until the morning after to "vent" about what happened the previous day so I can get all the facts straight, and collect my thoughts. But at the same time if President Obama does not do well, then it has to be stated, and when I do get here and everyone is just overlooking the bad things that happened it makes me sick, it makes me feel that we also are "bots" blindly following a candidate because he choose a letter in front of his name. The democratic party's values deserve to be held to a high standard and if we refuse to hold that standard high... Our party will continue to lean right like it has been. My vote is always for the dem., but that does not mean they can not be criticized! When someone feels like the candidate they spend their money on deserves criticism, they should be able to criticize.
