44. There is no spin. To love or support Obama is not to love and support all his decisions.
Why is it for some many people to fuckin' understand that? I don't agree with this decision. I don't agree with him going to Libya (despite the "supposed" success), I don't or didn't agree with drilling off shore or the later reissue of licenses. However, I said one thin that stated where I stood on those matters and if one asked me...do I love and support my President---there is no damned question in my mind. Has he endless disappointed me? Hardly, his successes, which means successes for the American people far surpass where he has disappointed me. Do I want more from him? Without a doubt.

There is no spin as you so put when one understands his frame works or dislikes his decision. We move and hope he changes his mind, work to change his mind, and expect more on the issue in future. Obama may have done what he did with the EPA, but he's also done:

1. http://wilderness.org/content/conservation-minded-president-look-obama%E2%80%99s-first-100-days-office

2. http://ecocentric.blogs.time.com/2011/01/04/its-official-obama-signs-shark-conservation-act/

And a hell of a lot more. So spinning is not necessary. Am I disappointed, as I said yes. Do I support Obama 10,000% or more...hell fuckin' yes! Understand why we love the President---instead of assuming we just love and/or support and/or want the President to succeed mindlessly. But I don't think you'll ever get it.
