Good morning, I know that your statements are not criticism, and I did not take them as such. I am only asking others to "ask" their representatives in Congress the same they "ask" of the President. He is only one man and can not do ANYTHING by himself, except Executive Orders, which he WOULD not be forced to do if the Congress supported him and backed him on bills that he wants.

I have read the "stuff that you write" and I do know that you are one of the President's most ardent and vocal supporters here on DU. And when I, myself, write "stuff", I am only supporting the President as well.

I support the President- sometimes it appears vehemently- because as another DU member said previously, it seems that we have some people on DU that will criticize the President no matter what he does; I only want the blame placed where it squarely belongs. And that place, more times than not, is with the Congress-not with the President- who I think has done a lot as a President given the obstacles and unfair treatment he has faced since day one of taking office.

In another vein, some of these DU commenter's probably did not even vote for the President, or anyone else for that matter, and are only using DU as a platform to verbalize what they REALLY think of the President, and use us as a "captive audience". There is really no hope for these kind of people, and unfortunately they will never change because this is their role in life; to disrupt the harmony of the world order and be miserable. And as they say "misery loves company", so take it for what it is worth. I am directing my comments at the OTHERS!

I again hope that we, us, or whatever pronoun you wish to use, will not use the President as a scapegoat for all of their desires and missed opportunies they have experienced. But, instead, put the blame where it really belongs, starting with their (DO NOTHING) Congress.

And if they did not vote, or voted for the "other person" they can also look in the mirror when they wish to play the "blame game".
