56. I wish people here would get over the obsession with defending the administration.

Progressives arent at war with the administration. Progressives are at war with issues, policies and laws that are killing the middle and working classes. If that reflects badly on the Admin, then so be it, but it isnt about Pres Obama.

Tell me if this isnt the way some are thinking. Pres Obama is honest and has a wonderful family. I doubt that any progressive would disagree. Therefore any questions or criticisms of any issues government related are direct affronts to Pres Obama's character. Wait, what? No progressive would buy that. No decent Democrat should buy that.
