Today I learned that many people posting here are transphobic.

130. indeed. I am deeply disappointed in the president and those who

defend his positions on domestic spying and secrecy, Larry summers, school privatization, union busting, torture, drone murder, NDAA, Keystonexl, and so on. I actually think the president is a deep-down good man who has completely succumbed to the forces that really run the country -he would like to do the right thing, but simply can't, and instead of fighting the good fight, has decided to go along with the inexorable takeover by the Koch brothers and their ilk.

But ut you will notice that the BOGers are uniform in their support of the president on all of these issues. Now you see that the same group by and large are using personal slurs against Greenwald and manning. Their worship of Obama has touched their souls in a bad way. They too are decent folk (having voted democratic their entire lives), who have lost their way for a time.

Edit: A few more thoughts on this subject. My feelings on this president's character are much different than my views on his predecessor. I consider GWB to be a stupid, mean, entitled coke-head with basically no redeeming features. He watched the demise of the country with unabashed glee, while Obama watches it with regret and resignation. Now you know the difference between disappointment and hatred.
