I used to think that DU should ignore threads that were meant to distract, I admit I was wrong

Sometimes it was so obvious that the timing and nature of the Posts were made to distract us and keep us busy with drivel (breast-feeding illegals at the Olive Garden) and I would want to scream to everyone to not fall for it, stay on focus, work on what we were here for.

Now I realize that so many at Democratic Underground are able to not only respond to the crazy distracting posts in a highly intelligent way, but deliver smack-downs so smooth the smackee doesn't even know a hand print is on his cheek. At the same time they are all over the real threads bringing the links that have true and legit info and informing us in ways that always amaze me. Now, Who does that remind me of?

Could it be Obama?
