(442 posts)Well said! My issues with this Administration come from my own perception and interpretation of how they have handled various policy initiatives including ramping up the war on drugs by prosecuting medical cannabis providers in California, asserting state secrets in several whistle-blower cases after stating that they would be more transparent than the last Administration, and several other instances where the President has said they would do 1 thing and then they turn around and do another. I don't like the fact that the President has made every concession to appease and work with the other side of the aisle while, at the same time, belittling those of us in the liberal wing of his own party.
I would never support a Republican and I will vote for President Obama in next year's election because the potential alternative is horrifying but, I really resent being told by fellow Democrats that, because I choose to voice my frustrations with the President and some of his policy initiatives (after he asked all of us to "hold his feet to the fire" , that I'm some kind of Republican plant, troll or disruptor. I don't need FireDogLake or any other web site or board (this one included) to tell me what I can see with my own eyes.
