Reply #13: You know the definition of insanity, right?

trying something over and over and getting the same result while hoping for something different.

One would think that after one or two times, he would have gotten the hint, but given three years of banging his head against the wall and expecting the repukes to change, even after they have stated in the media, on the house and senate floors that they will block any and all ideas, concepts and bills that the president puts forth.

And only now, as the election approaches he takes the bully pulpit to call them out.

2 years ago, when the tea bagging halfwits were basically controlling the media, Obama took a very weak approach to dealing with them, he has admitted as much. When he should have been on the attack.

But since that time, because he didn't attack, he lost an enormous amount of ground in credibility. Those of us who put country before party and democratic principles before campaigning have seen our advantage slip away in the face of compromise based on an illusion. Now, it's nothing but an uphill battle of Obama's own making to win back voters and people.

I know I won't convince you at all because I have seen your stance regarding the President and it appears to you, he does no wrong. I on the other hand, look at him as solely an elected official who I voted for to represent the Democratic platform, which, to me, he has not represented nor adequately supported.

How many times have we heard him say to the republicans, "these were your ideas and now you won't support them?" Many times. Their ideas, not the Democratic Parties ideas.

So, I'm done.

I will support someone to primary him, if only for the simple fact that he wakes up. However, because he will no doubt be the eventual Democratic Parties Candidate in 2012, I'll vote for him. But won't be because he's the best candidate (he was never my original choice to begin with), but because the choice is: insane corporate candidate or sane corporate candidate. I will choose sane every time even though both choices are against my best interests.

flame me now, post all sorts of links or your own special brand of rhetoric, I don't care, because I won't respond.

This is my stance.
