(13,685 posts)Heh, path to failure there. GOTV. For Dems. Did i really need to say that?
I campaigned hard as hell for Obama in 2008. So don't give me some lesson about what I can and can't say about what he has done. Your doing so is an act of oppression and is not welcome.
Tried to tell you that your list is not new. Guess that surprised you? You think Obama could not come up with a bigger, better list himself? But you make the claim he would have to time travel to do so? Don't make me laugh.
You don't piss me off. What does piss me off is that same attitude of yours that i have fought for years and years. The attitude that says "I'm right and your'e stupid". Yeah, that's what I read from you.
Basically I tell you, you are right about your list. That went right over your head. Along with the fact that we have heard it all before. Even Obama has heard it before. So why isn't he listening to you? Why doesn't he invite you to DC and listen to you? He's had lots of bankers there. And plenty of big shots who are responsible for oppression and denial of the things on your list. Eh? Why not you?
No. Your attack on me and other elders is not going to win you a damn thing. I grew up listening to MLK, he had the right stuff. You may want to study his ways. He was very successful and I'm sure he wishes someone would pick up where he left off. That person. so far, is not Obama. We all wished he did, or was, but alas, not yet. YET. We still hope to see some change.
So, on the one hand you complain that no one listens to you and on the other you have failed to listen to me. You even threaten to withhold your vote!
I would venture to say that someone reviewing your responses would be someone who would not want to risk getting in your way and would step back. See, that's not me. Someone like you I see more as just one more obstacle to overcome. Others are not so vigilant and as focused on the outcome and so do walk away when presented with such 'friendliness'.
And that right there is why it is so hard to get people involved. Some people make getting involved a real pain-in-the-ass. Take a bow?
