(30,736 posts)and they were unconditional Obama supporters, until he was elected. No one dared to criticize, or even discuss, the parts of his policy and platform they disagreed with. Never mind that DU is a discussion board. Then, it only took weeks for some of them to turn on him.
I believed, then, and now, that it was time to do the opposite, once he became the candidate and the President. I did not support Obama until he won the nomination. Then I worked for him and supported him to the max. I did the same for him as President. He has put up with much more than past Democratic Presidents. And I remember that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were badly treated, too!
I still think we need to show more loyalty publicly, even when we don't agree with everything. There will never be a perfect President or candidate. Not when we are all still human.
