Reply #59: Windy, you DO realize that some feel compelled to bash Obama?

He's in about the same position as Cassandra, plus he's a Democrat which immediately adds another target (remember--we Dems eat our young.) A lot of folks on here are playing the "la-la-la-la game." Hearing any kind of reminder that we are currently a minority party just won't be acceptable.

Obama is further handicapped by the fact that he's a member of the party that depends a great deal on the attitude that we don't have to prove shit to anybody. "Any THINKING person will immediately grasp that we are morally superior, thus, they will vote for Dems" seems to be the general refrain a lot of the time.

We all know how well THAT works, generally. The good news is we can be buried on our high moral ground.

Thanks for refusing to let the silliness here pass unanswered, but I have to tell you, I do think it may be a wasted effort in some cases. The truth hurts sometimes, and I think there are a lot of folks who'd rather not even hear it.

Obama is pissed we are the minority party and I hear him talking about working to change that with a focused message and some strategy. Not too bad coming out of the new kid on the block, IMO. I agree with you--Obama did fine today.
