(7,231 posts)Perhaps we can find more constructive ways to ask for support for Obama, everyone?
Because "Wake Up" smells of fresh arrogance. We're not having that, for breakfast or otherwise. Being a supporter of equal rights for ALL Americans, I've seen that same arrogance directed at the GLBT community from very early on in this Obama administration ("Just a prayer", "pony", "not the right time", "evolving opinion", and of course: those horrid LISTS).
Newsflash: Obama may be the best we could have in 2008 (and maybe the second best, but that we will never know), either way: he's not perfect. The criticism shows how very humanly flawed he can be. That is reality. The biggest fault would be to deny this, and scream: "Nananana, I can't hear you, you need to wake up."
