Reply #59: Question for you then.

Who do you think would have done better for you guys? Clinton's positions are identical to Obama's, and McCain... Well, I don't think I need to even go there. No, Obama hasn't done all he can. I readily recognize that and don't blame anyone who's irritated or angry at him failing to do what he can. He's disappointed me on a decent handfull of points as well

What stumps me is the people who are angry about him not doing things he can't do. I'm also stumped by the people who would rather be angry at him, than the motherfuckers who just gave a big middle finger to the GLBT community of California.

Now the explanations I've gotten on this thread for this very strange phenomena are pretty unsatisfactory. The best answer I've gotten to it is Missy's "he supports it with silence". Problem is, that's still not an answer to my question. Even if I were to accept that as true, shouldn't the six judges who made the decision and were not silent catch more blame anyway? But... they're not.

Myself, I figure if someone hauls off and hits me in the face, I should be more upset at him, than at the guy who didn't jump up to help me. Sure the second guy's a bit of a prick, but he didn't just bust my nose. Getting my face busted and then turning my anger on a bystander just doesn't make any sense
