A simple question for those still supporting President Obama: Why should I support him? [View All]

[blondeatlast]

This isn't a challenge--and I'm not asking those who've been pissed off at him for some time now (I've heard y'all already and have become one of you). Specifically, I don't want to hear criticism of the president--although I absolutely invite discussion of the issues the "cheerleaders*" offer.

FWIW, he pushed me to the edge over education DEform and right over it with the Federal wage freeze which was purely symbolic, IMHO.

For intelligent argument's sake, let's try to avoid using the following:
President Palin/McCain
No different than GWB
DLC/Blue Dog
Wall Street lackey, etc.
Corporatist

I'm looking for concretes here and not tired, overused talking points from either side. I'm a college graduate, former educator, and a pretty smart person. Let's raise the usual DU level, shall we?

*Note: I am truly sorry to use that word (have I mentioned how much I loathed that whole "woodchuck" thing? If not, I just did), but we really have become two warring factions here, it appears.

Thanks--and may I add, I'm glad to see DU survived the night!
