Reply #76: Take a break for a while if it's affecting you this much

I think you're getting worked up over nothing.

Obama's not a porcelain doll who can't handle criticism. He handles it just fine.

Would you be happier if people shut up and just turned their back on him before walking away? That's what you're asking for, lockstep obeisance and blind trust. You're not going to find it on the Left.

Obama fucked up with this one. There's nothing wrong with people saying so. Better we say so now and he listen to us and respond accordingly than lose our votes and go the way of other politicians.

Obama is the first candidate in a long time that people have believed in. If you ask people to bury our heads in the sand and pretend everything's A-ok, we increase our risk of losing because people want transparency and truth now with no pandering. You be who you are and take your lumps. Obama can handle it.
