To those who worry about how this will affect Obama.

38. And hasn't it been the narrative around here that every ill we suffer is Obama's fault? Some don't

take into account that the president is not stronger than Congress, but Congress - especially the Republicans in Congress - appear to get a pass and all blame is laid at Obama's feet.

You are one of the DUers who is part of the brigade of the worst critics of Obama here, so yes, in my opinion and most Democrats' opinion here, there is a degree of "Obama Derangement Syndrome" happening, even to the point that those who complain so passionately have lost sight of the fact that they're talking themselves, and others, out of supporting the single party that's closest to their idea of perfection.

If this continues, the result will be a repeat of 2010, and the Republicans will be laughing at the Leftists that they're so caught up in their own perfect little world that they just sold out the country to these neo-fascists. The good thing is, the Latinos, Blacks, and Asians will pick up the slack, just as they had in 2012. And we're growing.

The "minority" in this country understand politics and political power more than most Leftists do. We understand nothing is perfect. There's no such thing, but in order to strive toward that perfect progressive country, we need a voice in our government or we'll be silenced. We understand we need a BIG voice in government if we want to see this country move forward in the way we believe is fair and right for all of us. We understand that this is still a winner-take-all, two-party system, and I'm hoping, with all of my heart, that the Leftists who waste most of their time attacking President Obama, will still see the light before the 2014 congressional elections and fight to put more Democrats, even those annoying BlueDogs who still vote 70% with Democrats, unlike Republicans and Teapublicans. Otherwise, the country is screwed and all the advances that happened under President Obama, will be eradicated, just as Bush eradicated all the good things President Clinton got through. And look where that got us.
