In reply to the discussion: Why the arguments of Obama's defenders leave many cold. [View all]bettyellen
(47,209 posts)this means that you have to claim 100% satisfaction, and not engage in conversations where we reveal any dissapointment. To me, thats bullshit. We should be able to discuss what direction we want the govt to be taking. Not only the accomplishments, but the mistakes made. And we should, as Obama supporters be able to discuss these things, without being called freepers or being told to go somewhere.
So the OP is on target about that mindset, because none of these people are honestly reacting to his OP about the heart of it- the nature of the "defending" they sometimes do- the contradictions and rationalizations that are out there for all to see.
All they do is lick their wounds and stick to the "either you're for him or against him" BS. I guess they see things in a very simple black and white way, and can't fathom that many people are 60-70% happy with BO, and would like things to get better.
