Reply #10: i think with about every issue i have gotten mad because seems he caves and not spine (like i like) [View All]

i am a very forceful, always get my way, kinda gal. not diplomatic by any means. and things that matter little to me, i let go. that is lots of things. i pick battles. that being said

his style does not fit my personality at all. he is just like my husband. though he is never a clear winner in all this, he ALWAYS advances the progressive causes and has accomplished more for progressive causes than other presidents, for a while. though we dont hear it that way.

this tax thing for example. i am financially fine. would be easy for me to call bluff and allow taxes to expire and no UI. but then i am not being hurt. and allowing others to be hurt isnt very progressive. i could still do it. he wont. he did the job.

if you look at much of what he has done, that is how he works.... and though it goes against the way i walk life, i watch hubby end up very successful and accomplished with this style, as i watch obama. though obama does not get credit for the progressive policies he accomplishes

that always leaves me feeling not happy, not content, not a winner but my brain says, he is doing progressive and i need to support.

best i can explain

thanks for your op. i have stayed out of the obama threads mostly, for a good year, because i cannot express my "sybil" feelings for obama to most posters.... they wont listen. and does no good to argue it.
