(1,135 posts)I'm sick and tired of being treated like the enemy or an idiot for wanting to wait this thing out and hear Obama's side on this. To feel loyalty for the man I voted for seems to be wrong now! The, "I'm so cool being against Obama" crowd refuse to give him the benefit of the doubt. Despite all he's accomplished in almost five years, in spite of the right fighting him at every turn; now he's destroying us?!?! NO president in history has ever had to be up against the obstructionists, Obama has. Shouldn't that matter?
I get idealism, as I'm an idealist. But if your idealism becomes so unrealistic with expectations that no president could meet, then there's a problem.
Coming in here lately isn't much different from wandering into the ConCave and getting eaten alive.... No compassion or understanding. Just plain meanness, derision and putting words in my mouth.
Here's but a small sampling:

I am more upset with what's happening here in DU, than I am about the CCPI. With that, we still don't know how that will turn out. So I'll wait before I get too upset about.
But to come here, where I once felt so at home and comfortable, up until a couple days ago, and not be able to express my opinion without rude comments worthy of baggers and neocons, made to me is just not right.
I had always believed that the left were more civil. Well, there's a ton of you that have made a liar out of me!
