Reply #13: Like Obama said, some people

take pride in their ignorance. Lately, on DU, that's what I've been seeing.

They don't seem to understand the dynamics behind change. They're still in the *ush totalitarian mode, not understanding that true power lies with Congress, not the President. They twist themselves in pretzels trying to defend their unjustifiable anger towards President Obama, completely negating the obstructionism in Congress.

Congress, in turn, should be representing We the People, but too many champion We the Personhoods instead, and they've been doing this so long that people actually believe they don't have any power and that the President can function, create changes, and force his will on them as he pleases.

To those Murkins that think that, they really need to brush up on civics lessons. It's sad that they'd rather go into attack mode instead, not realizing this is counter-productive and that they're only hurting themselves in the long run.
