A while back.

"Obama's campaign slogan was, 'Yes WE can.' So WE elected him and then said, 'can YOU just do it?'"

You guys don't have that bad of a president. And you've turned on each other, oh how the freepers are laughing now.

Obama said yes WE can and then didn't ask anything of his energized mobilized army except to sit down while he handles it

we were all ready to go to do anything he asked

he didn't ask

he's didn't lead

3. That's a cop out for sitting down and waiting for
only a few to get busy and work. That's a cop out for not stepping up and then kicking sideways when others don't think or act exactly as you would. It is an excuse.

6. Here are a few busy workers...
and look what happened to them

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=9200308&mesg_id=9200308

A Chicago teacher and a teacher union organizer have homes raided by FBI.

They along with anti-war activists in Minneapolis had their homes ransacked by FBI agents armed with search warrants in early morning raids yesterday.

The real concern of the Obama administration appears to be activists in the anti-war movement.

..seems you think there is a conspiracy?

Did you think that maybe it is a con..... that certain bushco left behinds are doing their best to make a mess of things and ultimately make a bunch of leftists like you feel unwanted and helpless?

5. A wise voice from the North....
We were naive if we thought for a minute that once Obama was elected the problems were solved. Simply educating the populace regarding who has their best interest at heart could take a generation.

But we outnumber them by millions and can win the fight if we persevere.

Help get out the vote. This mid-term is critical!!!

9. Meh...when he said "make me do it," I figured he meant it. So I lobby and write letters and march,
and then I get mocked for whining. So, you know, it's a little frustrating.
