The mission of the Barack Obama Group is to discuss information and news about the life, career, accomplishments, and presidency of Barack Obama; to provide a haven for those members of Democratic Underground who support the president and his policies; to discuss President Obama's policy positions, speeches, interviews, and other public appearances; to discuss President Obama's political campaigns; and to discuss the causes which President Obama has championed, including health care reform and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Those who have a generally negative view of President Obama and his administration, support his defeat in the 2012 presidential election (in primaries or the general election), or who are generally supportive of those who do, are not welcome in the Barack Obama Group.


It's one thing to post in reply, another to make an OP. I advise you delete before the 'Obomber, Obummer, Obama same as Bush' crowd arrives.

I read the forums this morning and 'Obomber' was allowed to stay with cheers by the jury, and incorrect OPs are being Rec'd but I do not alert in the forums.

This is NOT a forum, it is a safe haven group with rules that do not allow people to come here and bash us or the President. We don't want it here, please don't invite them.

Grantcart would lock this, and I'm asking you to stop this OP now. I'm not a host, but am speaking as a fellow member of the BOG. I understand your frustration, but you did not specify this as a BOG post and I don't think it's useful to our group.

Just My Humble Opinion.
