Reply #58: I think it's helpful to begin with a few assumptions

1) No matter what the poster is saying, we all agree what Obama is a) better than Bush, b) better than McCain and c) better than any potential 2012 pug opponent. Obviously, there have been a few posters who have explicitly said otherwise, but I chalk that up to their disappointment getting the better of them.

2) Most of us supported and worked for Obama once he was the nominee. Unless he truly flames out, most of us will do the same in 2012

3) Almost every critic of Obama wants the same things you do. We just disagree on how the president should go about getting them.
