[Major Hogwash]

92. Good. Because defending the President, a twice elected Democrat, is a waste of time at DU.

Agree with those that agree with you, and ignore the rest of the petulant pedestrian crowd of anonymous whiners.
That's what I have been doing, and I have been here for 10 years!!

I left DU for awhile in 2004 when people like me who supported John Kerry for President were called Kerryokies, and Skinner let those people post here clear through that election period.
I went to the JK forum and posted amongst supporters who didn't waver in their efforts to promote Kerry for President.

I came back to DU early in 2005 to see DU on fire, with numerous threads blaming Bill Clinton, Kerry, and everyone else who was a Democrat, even though Bush stole Ohio's election results in 2004.
In 2006, I tried to make as many positive comments about getting out the vote in the mid-term elections that year, and I had some success.
Then in 2007, I got behind Barack Obama early in the year, and started working towards getting him in the White House, while others at DU did their level best to undermine him.
So then, in 2008, DU once again lit up like a 100 Christmas trees as the PUMAS ruled the forum, so it wasn't worth much of my time to post here, so I left for a duration once again.
I returned in 2009 to see members still fuming that Hillary wasn't the President of these United States, and saw all of the threads they had started within just 2 weeks of Obama taking the oath of office, urging her to run again in 2012.
By 2010, some members were crying here about the upcoming mid-term elections more than being positive or optimistic, and it was evident that the admins had low standards for who they would allow to post here about the politics that would affect our lives.
In 2011, the consequences of the 2010 mid-term elections were becoming apparent, and of course, some here blamed Obama for the Tea Party coalition of the GOP party forming, which was totally illogical and something from out of this world.
Then in 2012, I began talking here about Obama being re-elected, and although by then Skinner had created the jury system with this new version of DU, it was obvious to me that some people sitting in those juries didn't agree that a black man named Obama should be re-elected.

Too bad for them . . . he's still there!

The same cries of "it's all Obama's fault" are still shrilled here today at DU like they were 2 years ago.
They will be like the same sad, pathetic cries made here over the next 2 years about Obama.

Use your time wisely, because the fact is -- we are all mortals, and while we make comments on the internet, the clock is busy ticking down towards that day that each and every one of us must face -- when we will no longer be strolling on this green earth.

I really like your nickname, by the way.
It reminds of a bitter time in my life, a time that I have spent the last 23 years resolving.

Good luck in the future, bigtree.
