Jesus. I'm so sorry. I forgot that we're only allowed to post lists of what bad, bad Obama has done wrong. Any mention of what he's done right is to mocked and derided on this supposed Democratic forum. It never ends because with some people, because for them Obama can do no right. No matter what he does there's something wrong with it. I suspect they mock any mention of the good he has done because the cognitive dissonance must be overwhelming when someone bursts their sky-is-falling tantrums with actual facts.
I for one am sick and tired of the neverending doom-and-gloom bullshit around here. Some people apparently live for drama. There is no moderation with these people. Either someone is the worst person ever -- a fascist, corporatist, warmongering right-wing criminal -- or they are a hero, a saint, deserving of a place on Mount Rushmore and a national momument. Obama can't simply be a decent president who has done some very good things, while at the same time having done some things with which we disagree. No, it's all or nothing. Obama is either the worst president ever (yes, people here have said it) or he's not. No in between. They sit on the sidelines throwing fits and rejecting any progress if it's not exactly what they want, when they want it, all at once. These are the people who wanted to fuck over millions of people on health care reform by sticking with the status quo rather than make good progress and continue working to improve it.
Obama is not an evil villain, nor is he a perfect saint. He is a caring, compassionate, progressive human being who is doing the damned best he can facing unprecedented obstruction and opposition from some of the most extremist people in the country -- people who control half of the Congress, by the way.
