"Now is the time for all Americans--all good Americans--to be rallying around our president"

[bluestateguy]

That's what the Bush people would be saying if he were president during this weekend of the oil spill and the attempted terrorist attack.

1. That ATTITUDE got us two illegal and immoral invasions of sovereign nations. No Sale! eom

[babylonsister]

2. Tried to rec'd. Someone apparently thinks this is a bad idea.

3. Yes, unthinking support of authority figures, whatever their stripes, is NOT a good idea. eom

[LeftyMom]

5. Of course you did.

[babylonsister]

9. You bet. I finally have a president who I can respect after railing

against the last one for 8 years. I'll happily rally around this intelligent man who wants to do the right thing, even if you don't.

:fistbump:

11. When he does something to deserve my respect, I'll be sure to let you know.

6. I was one of the unrecs.

Obama has done nothing to deserve my loyalty or support.

8. This OP isn't so much about Obama as about what the RWers used to spew.

7. I can rally behind him

and whisper in his ear, corporations are big fucking liars, all at the same time.

10. Can you name a president who wouldn't have "people" saying that? Can you?

Your post baffles me.

A president of any stripe, green, reform, independent, libertarian, you name it, would have people who say support the president, rally around him.

One might add that President Obama and BOTH Bush presidents, and Reagan, all wore pants.

:shrug:

12. Oh, some folks here would say that, too. nt

[uppityperson]

13. That is indeed the jingoistic crap bushites would be saying. "now is not the time to question"

"but simply believe and trust those in charge. because they are in charge."

[mfcorey1]

14. I am in.......no questions asked.

[xchrom]

15. Whatever - bush didn't need my support - neither does Obama.

So they can do without.
