I ain't done.
Yes, Obama has deeply disappointed me. No, make that us. Again.

But I ain't done. I'm still going to fight for those Democrats who reflect my values and the core values of this party.

The Republicans would love it if we all rolled over on our backs and peed on our bellies, but I ain't giving them the satisfaction.

So I'm staying in the fight. For Ginny. For my fellow Democrats. For America as a whole.

But those of you who are still writing blank checks for Obama to cash better check to see if you're still solvent and if you got anything meaningful out of the deal.

We need Obama to be a leader, not a follower, not a Republican lackey. We need him to tell the Republicans, "I'm not done."

1. I'll never stop fighting
but it's a hell of a lot more fun to fight for people who are on my side

5. Too bad this:
"... Democrats who reflect my values and the core values of this party", aint what we got.

6. I know - but that's why I ain't done
I'm not an Obama supporter. I'm a Democrat. I don't go for personalities; I go for who can deliver what, why, when, and how much. Obama just so happens to be a Democrat, so I support him as best as I am able. But when he does wrong, I am obliged to call him out.

I want the Democrats to succeed. They are my friends and my party. But it's gonna be rough weather for at least the next two years.

8. I'm disappointed, disillusioned and
pissed off as hell, but I ain't done either.

However, right now I'm not fit to be around anyone.

10. I think by done people are saying they're no longer willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt.
I don't think it means they're done fighting.
