8. There is no harm because letting people vent is what prevents revolution in this country
Edited on Fri Dec-26-08 04:09 PM by BlackmanX
It's not like the party really gives a care about what a few loud (disorganized) voices on the left think about gays and the cabinet when the markets are collapsing. There's governing to be done and in the grand scheme of things alot of this crap doesn't matter. On second thought a reason why people don't want Obama to be criticized is because he hasn't taken office yet and they're worried that it might cripple Obama's presidency before it starts or maybe they fear that he'll end up like LBJ. Personally I think the suppression of dissent during the bush regime is bubbling up and might explode right in Obama's face and more stress will be put on Obama simply because that's what happens when a reformer takes office after somebody who suppresses speech.
