Reply #17: I came late to the Obama party too, but have supported, donated and voted for him. But I refuse [View All]

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

to keep my eyes wide shut. I am not happy with his selection of Emanuel who has helped to deter chances of progressives from running for Congress. Ask some of the Florida DUers. He has been a factor in bringing our party right of center..a place traditionally held by moderate Republicans.

Obama has not earned my blind trust (and I never blindly trust Anyone anyway) after his vote to recommend Rice for Secretary of State and his DISMAL vote for the FISA bill.

But I am not railing about his current choice yet, and taking a wait and see approach, but I will not be bullied by some posters on this board who are telling dissenters to STFU. Telling good Progressives to leave DU.

That is against DU rules and it is decidedly anti-American.
