In reply to the discussion: Reuters Breaking: U.S., Russia agree deal on Syria chemical weapons [View all]jzodda
(2,124 posts)42. My point is simple
Its not directed at just you, but all the people who have been directing invective at the President. Why does the President have to line up perfectly on every issue? Meaning if he does not agree with you on each issue is that enough reason to abandon him overall?
Many here seem to be doing that. Abandoning him now when we are about to enter a period of heavy political infighting with the Republicans this fall. I don't care if you line up to the left or right of him, me or anybody else here. But why abandon Obama now?
What I said about Free Republic? Well there have been times these past weeks where you could swear DU turned into that place with the comments leveled about the President.
