Primarily because we should damn well know better.

There's no hostage crisis? Sheeeeeew, we are one Blackwater delivery away from there being one, are you trying to tell the LayDee that they're above that shit?

And don't tell me I am a constant Obama cheerleader either. My criticism started on DAY ONE (Rick Warren, anyone?) I am just of the mind that *I* supported him getting there, and now they work for ME, not the other way around. But who knows...I am one of those uppity bitches who actually read The Constitution. I believe it is my job to MAKE him be the President he campaigned to be.

But challenging him a la Kennedy vs Carter is foolish and unsupportive to say the very least.

I want this President to succeed. He was not my first choice. Some of those reasons are coming to fruition now. (I mean seriously? Having back room, secret closed door meetings about social security with Alan Simpson in the room is every bit as bad if not worse than Darth Cheney's Energy Task Force, wanna know why? BECAUSE MY PRESIDENT SHOULD GOD DAMN WELL KNOW BETTER THAN TO DO THAT STUPID SHIT IN THE FIRST PLACE. It'd be like holding secret meetings on race relations and inviting David Duke, and you know it) But I digress.

I stand with my President even when I am standing UP TO that same guy. I will NOT support any primary challenger to President Obama. And let's be clear...this would NOT be akin to Bill Bradley running against Gore in the primary. It'd be more like Ralph Nader running against Gore in Florida.

And you know it.
