It's safe to come out now.....

[Clio the Leo]

..... seriously, just in case anyone was still not ready to go back over there -----> really, the water is quite warm. :)

I'd even clean out my ignore list .... you may be pleasantly surprised.

It's like we've been magically transported back to August 2008. (ha)

[BeyondGeography]

1. We're cool again

being Obama fans and all. Should last the entire weekend.

[SeattleGirl]

6. 'fraid not.

There's an article in LBN about how Yoo and Bybee have basically been cleared by the Justice Department. So, of course it's all Obama's fault. It's currently the top article on the front page.

Sigh.

[DeepModem Mom]

2. I posted a couple of lines in a couple of threads. The first in a long time. nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. I'm not sure how to deal with it. They love the president when he's in...

general campaign mode, but when he drops off the news, we seem to return to the primaries around here. Some of our fair weather friends seem like the president when Krugman, Hartmann, and Hamsher say it's okay. I really don't get us sometimes, but I wish this unity could be long lasting. There's actually positive Obama threads on the front page of DU. Will wonders never cease?

4. Yeah, but there's still something wrong about the whole thing.

We were being shouted down with the help of the admins and mods just because we supported our president and wanted to reach agreement with the fringe elements who were abusing us with cheap rightist ploys.

Did I describe the scene accurately?

I don't know. Something's still broken and it's not going to be that easily fixed to my satisfaction.

5. I like the BOG..I go to other forums

but the BOG is my favorite.

I come here first but I'll always check what's goin' on in GDP..just like I'll always stick with the Prez until the end.:)

[Born_A_Truman]

7. Me too, Cha.

BOG is the first place I go now at DU.

[Cha]

8. It just

feels right. :)

[Fire1]

9. Ditto. n/t

[goclark]

19. You are a real champion Cha, I would see you setting it

right over there and I would give you K and R's when I was really so angry at them.

I've seen a different tone over there too, hope it sticks.

[HughMoran]

10. For how many minutes?

Call me cynical :)

[Lindsey]

11. I also come to thIs forum first no question. n/t

[RoyGBiv]

12. They're in hover mode ...

They swoop down immediately on any thread that gives them an opening. I just emerged from viewing one, somehow able to control myself.

[Number23]

13. I just told my buddy Fire1 the same thing. These people have learned nothing

and have gone nowhere.

[SeattleGirl]

14. I was just reading one about the SOTU.

They've stopped hovering.

[Turborama]

15. I've been able to have some fairly constructive debates in the videos forum...

...without getting rudely slammed for sticking up for him. In the http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x429301">Grayson and http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x429567">TYT threads in particular. Even the http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x429519">Weekly Address was respected more than usual. :hi:

[Cha]

16. That's good, Turbo..

Thanks for putting all those important vids up, too.

:hi:

[lamp_shade]

17. Cleaned mine out too. I'm finding the disgruntleds to be amazingly bearable now.

Even laughable in many instances.

[Peacetrain]

18. I am posting.. so far so good..good discussions, and have not been called a "bot" yet

I am hoping this is a good sign
