(20,456 posts)Oh sure, I could tell you exactly how. But I'm sure that would be met with some dismissive sneer about how it isn't good enough. Because for people like you, it's never good enough. You're waiting for some savior to swoop in and magically make things all better, instead of dealing with reality. You'd rather bash Obama and Democrats than hold Republicans accountable for their obstruction and lies. It's quite telling. I have a newsflash for you: 60 million people in this country voted for Mitt fucking Romney. 60 million. So you can pretend all you want that Obama can do whatever he wants if only he would, what, shout louder? Stomp his feet harder? Sorry, but in the real world not everyone is a liberal/progressive/Democrat. That's the sad reality. So, you either work with what you've got and make as much progress as you possibly can, OR you put ideological purity above all else and fail over and over. Thankfully, President Obama is in the former camp.
It's amazing. You really believe that you alone are sincere in your beliefs. You cannot fathom that anyone could possibly think differently than you do. Only YOU arrived at your conclusions by looking at facts and using logic. Everyone else must be brainwashed or an idiot. It's precisely when Democrats adopt attitudes like yours and stick our noses up at anyone who dares disagree that we lose. Count me out. It is sickening that you would rather lose everything and screw over millions of people simply to maintain ideological purity, than to make some progress and continue to fight. Progress doesn't happen by stamping feet and attacking our own instead of the real enemies.
Oh, and yes Obama was "praised to skies" when he ended by DADT. But NOT by the people who attack everything he does for not being good enough. They were simply silent, moving on to the next outrage.
