(11,464 posts)It is why President Obama won a landslide victory in 2012.
They threw everything at him, but the TRUE fans don't pay attention to the smears, the rightwing conspiracy, the Naderite or 3rd party sidetracking.
and they waited hours and hours to vote.
And those that could voted early
And in the mainstream media(of which now all is mainstream media, only Al Sharpton stood tall without waivering while one by one the others showed their true colors
prop them up, then ditch them at the one yard line
now that the game was won, now they root for the President to fail like you said above.
They remind me of Lucy.
somewhere the other day I had read that Obama was lucy.
No, Lucy is hated by most, and is only actively around, to show what a great person Charlie Brown is.
Charlie Brown could have kicked the football, or, after one or two times, could have kicked Lucy in the head, ooops. But he took the hits, he rope-a-doped Lucy and the world loves
Charlie Brown. Because the world knows Charlie Brown is a winner.
The Charlie Brown Christmas tree is the prime example.
Charlie Brown saw things that no one else did, in that little tree.
Everyone else wanted a bigger one, but Charlie Brown presevered.
And Charlie Brown brought that tree home and proudly displayed it.
It ended p being the most beautiful tree in the world, and if Charlie Brown had not stood tall,
stood up uto the bullies and the taunts, and the teasing(even his own dog Snoopy laughed and laughed at him), noone would have seen the beauty that was the tree.
Without Charlie Brown, there is NO Peanuts strip.
Without President Obama and the NEXT president being a Democratic candidate, there is
NOTHING. Zero.
100% of nothing will always equal nothing.
Thanks again, and presevere.
When Bruce sang "No retreat NO surrender" he was referring or could have been referring to President Obama getting 10% and getting another 10% and another 10%, etc.
He was singing positive.
He was not burning it all down like most in the media and the comments online under an article are trying to do, which is a negative.
A negative of something is always a negative.
NO retreat NO surrender.
(btw, I had this going full blast election day 2004. The entire voting area heard me drive up.
Didn't happen in 2000, didn't happen 2004.
But the revolution happened and was reaffirmed in 2008 and 2012.
and I 100% hope for a continuation of the Obama years in 2016 and 2020 and beyond
add up compounded 10% and soon it will equal 100% of what we had in 2008 prior to the Jan. 2009 inauguration.
