We'll have to see if it holds after the elections, but I admit it is nice to see.

Obama after the election... i.e. indefinite detention, war on weed, endless
war against an amorphous ill-defined "tactic" called Terrorism, etc.

There's some stuff that our Constitutional Scholar President does that reverberates cognitive dissonance throughout my body. The powers he's accumulated as President, although in wise hands now, could eventually be passed on to a new GW Bush or God Help Us, a Rmoney!
However, I'm voting for him and contributing to him and other Dems. It's impossible to get any Presidential Candidate that agrees with everything about everything I'm in favor of.
The list of good things he's done and what he stands for highly leverages the few liabilities.

(44 posts)I've discussed politics with many right wingnuts. One of their common arguments has been that the Democrats are divisive, hateful, mean, cruel.....you get the idea. If they only had known how disappointed I've been with my own Party for not fighting back.
But now, to see the President and Vice President standing up and actually taking a few shots at the other side has really been a breath of fresh air. This is one time that I approve of fulfilling the fantasies of the right wing nutballs.
So, where was the MSM when the birthers were calling the President a Kenyan, a pal of terrorists, a socialist, a communist, a nazi? Where were they when the Arizona preacher called on the nation to pray that the President die of a brain tumor? And why is the MSM saying that this is the ugliest campaign ever in the history just because the President is fighting back and telling the truth?
