63. I support President Obama...

Sun Aug 18, 2013, 01:28 PM

Aug 2013

He is not a republican. Although he has not given everyone the pony they thought they were promised, he has moved the country forward. It is terrifying to think where this country would be if gramps McCain and word salad Palin or the stiff Rmoney had been at the helm.

I don't always agree with the President, but it is a far cry from what we had before and I am a realist, we are all not going to get what we want all the time.

I don't see the value in constantly attacking Obama and those who support him unless I had an alternative motive of disenfranchisement of Democratic voters.

I get sick of hearing constant badgering of Obama as does the right wing, their talking heads and a number of people on this board.

I support Democratic candidates.
