In reply to the discussion: I am without a doubt, unequivocably, unapologetically, and enthusiastically voting for Obama in Nov! [View all]stupidicus
(2,570 posts)not to vote for him?
What I don't understand is, those that are "angry" over kill lists, etc, are assaulted until the cows come home, and are often treated like traitors because they can't summon the enthusiasm you seemingly have despite the disappointments they harbor. Mostly, they like you, consider the choice in Nov a no-brainer because of the alternative, so the only thing that seems to differentiate them is a lack of enthusiasm over being left no other choice.
It's almost like the level of enthusiasm has come define moral character, reasonableness, and rationality -- and perhaps intelligence level as well -- within the BHO supporter ranks. The simple fact of the matter is, in the final analysis it's a vote for him whether enthusiastic or not that matters. Some don't like or even hate the job they go to daily, while remaining fully aware of the less agreeable alternative of unemployment. And if they go to work and complain about the terms and conditions of employment there -- the company did this, the company didn't do that, etc -- for the betterment of all, they are called what?
I'm betting the history books will record his failure to provide leadership on climate change issues as his largest one. He's been the voice for women, gays, and displaced hispanic kids recently, but can't seem to speak for the planet.
Sorry if that (and more) has become an "enthusiasm" killer for some of us. I think what slays me most of all is that you enthusiastic ones appear to think you're some kinda vast majority that can kick the less enthusiastic around, if the afrementioned conduct can serve as a barometer for it. http://today.yougov.com/news/2012/02/10/do-democrats-really-have-enthusiasm-advantage/
But is that so?
