"Summers wasn't the nominee."

[Bolo Boffin]

203. Thank you for telling me how you see me coming off.

After all, that's what I'm doing with everyone here who seems intent to find every way that Obama has failed them and whip his effigy throughout the forums and groups as best they can.

Here's a secret for you: I wasn't too thrilled with Summers as the presumptive nominee either. But it wasn't the knife in the back some here are making it out to be. Paul Krugman also thought he'd be a decent choice and he's hardly some cloaked rightwinger trying to undermine us from within.

All of this uproar is just "OBAMA IS WORSE THAN BUSH HE SOLD US OUT!!!!" at its most off-putting and self-defeating. And it just keeps going on and on and on. Nothing Obama does right is ever counted in his favor. Everything Obama does wrong is hyped and overstated and laboriously recounted. It just gets old and I don't mind telling you all that. No need to thank me. Your concern for my wellbeing is its own reward.

Summers was the frontrunner for the nomination. Now he's not even in consideration. Yay! Obama listened to us. The process works. It's cause for being happy, not an excuse to bash Obama even more for daring to thoughtcrime Larry Summers in our direction.
