Article regarding Obama supporters that support President Obama on Twitter

'Obamabots' defend POTUS in Twitterverse

Article here: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1011/66159.html


p.s. NOTE - I do not like or agree with the term 'Obamabots', BUT that is the TITLE of the article, so hopefully my OP will NOT be locked and folks will have the opportunity to read the article.

1. As opposed to Obama supporters that don't support President Obama?

2. Everything in that article sounds just so god damned familiar!

I'm suprised they allowed themselves to be interviewed by that right wing republican rag..Politico!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

3. Especially this -> "their enemies’ derisive label: the Obamabots"

It's telling that so many "enemies" of Obama supporters used this same term with derision here, so much so that the insulting term is now rightly banned by DU admin.

<< I'm surprised they allowed themselves to be interviewed by that right wing republican rag..Politico! >>

There's no such thing as bad publicity. I'm glad there are folks like me on Twitter fighting FirePUMALake's Jane "Blackface" Hamster Face's false Obama bashing narratives. I wonder if PUMA Jane's clip included her Faux News "Kill The Bill" appearance with Grover Norquist, where she appealed to teabaggers to join her? I know PUMA Jane hasn't revealed the names of the right wing Republican clients of her media company yet. Of course, her fans don't care, as long as she keeps the Obama hate flames alive.

5. Politico is creating a false narrative and outs themselves as one of our "enemies".

1. They themselves are pushing the use of the term "Obamabots" throughout this snide article.

2. They falsely state that FirePUMALake were Obama supporters once and that African-American radio stations have stopped being supportive. Both implications are lies.

3. They compare Obama supporters to Sarah Palin supporters, which is ironic, because many of Palin's biggest supporters were PUMAs who voted for her out of their abiding and continuing insane hatred for Barack Obama.

6. If that is the title of the article, then the article is already colored with bias

Is it possible that there are degrees of support for the president?

There are some who will support him because they don't want to see Republicans win.
There are some who will support him because they feel that they have no other choice.
There are some who will support him due to a single issue (for me, it's the SCOTUS).


And yes, there are some who support the president without question, without criticism, without objectivity. These "Obamabots," in my view, are few and far between. I haven't come across anyone who is 100% happy with Obama and has absolutely NO criticism for him.

7. I support him because I think he's the best man for the job (and country) right now

I defend him a lot but I think that he's just about as perfect as I am (not). I expect progress not perfection out of him and the rest of our leaders.

10. Article is interesting but incredibly biased

Making it seem as though his critics on the "left" are all very forward and informed there while his supporters are driven solely by a cult of personality. Shadowy agents, perhaps even of the White House itself! :crazy:

Jane Hamsher's antics have been documented by just about every group, liberal or otherwise, in existence. But the article gives the impression that she and others have no ulterior motives for their incessant "disappointment" in the president. Sloppy journalism at its finest

Sidenote: I noticed that Angry Black Lady is bi-racial, just as is Obama. I wonder how long it will be before the perpetually clueless accuse her of "not really being black" the way so many have done with our president?
