Reply #5: I completely agree.

Therefore, though many of us have strong disagreement with many of Obama's policies and actions, it is prudent to be very circumspect in our criticisms of him (at least until and if he gets re-re-elected).

And, if we participate at all in racehorse and popularity polls--well, not wanting to lie I'm not participating in most of them because I don't want my disapproval of many of Obama's actions to be translated into support for Republicans who are far worse.

That is also why I believe that we need to focus as much as possible on Congress even though 2012 will be a presidential election year.

It might even be possible the Obama could get ree-elected on the strength of reverse coattails.

And were he to get so re-re-elected, and presuming he knew it, we might find him a little less objectionable in some respects.
