Okay, I just heated the stray-cat-in-the-back-garden's Snugglesafe

[Jackeens]

:blush:

After the stupendously lovely NYC_SKP told me today that the Barack Obama Group was active again I kind of view it as my brand new DU Snugglesafe :-) A warm and cosy shelter from the maddening storm!

It strikes me as kind of sad and bizarre that DUers who support a Democrat President - or, at the very least, wish him well - need an occasional refuge on DU, but they do. Good grief, are we now a marginalised fringe group on DU?!

But there was so much hostility towards him here, even before he was inaugurated, I'm not too surprised by how things have panned out. The way some of his setbacks are celebrated...well, it makes me assume that the worst nightmare of some is that he will prove to be a damn good President. It's bewildering.

Any way, it's utterly lovely to bump in to those with some hope in their hearts in this forum, there's no need to take a permanent break from DU after all!

Hell no, he's not perfect, but I still believe he's trying hard to do the right things - so, I remain a proud supporter.

Talk to you all soon,

:toast:

PS I don't bother posting photo threads on DU much any more - life's way too short for the hate-fest! - so if you ever need a light-hearted pick-me-up drop in to http://chipsticks.wordpress.com/
