Reply #47: It's about politics, what we have and what in actuality would be the realistic alternative.

[FrenchieCat]

It ain't about can Obama be the perfect progressive, and if not,
let's shit on him every chance we can.....even if based on:

Out of context quotes (like for those who would turn a protest into
a strike, so they can call Obama a liar for stating that he would walk a
picket line, which there isn't one during this protest),

or speculative nothings (like when folks accuse Obama for weeks on end of "wanting" to dismantle Social Security, and when proven wrong, move to the next thing to accuse him of doing),

or selective memory (like when folks accuse Obama of not wanting to pass decent healthcare,
all the while they ignore the political realities of who in Congress would have voted for what),

or unrealistic expectations (like when they expected him to end the Afghanistani war yesterday,
when he ran on expanding it prior to bringing it to a close),

or just plain old name calling (weak/ineffective) like when he wanted to abolish DADT via Congress rather than through some temporary order,

or Calling him a Corporate Tool simply because of the unrealistic view that the President should kick Business' ass as though that will get them hiring,

or biased cherry picking (like when looking at Obama's budget and only seeing the worse in it, and not the rest),

Or I could go on and on.....

But of course, kicking him in his ass every day about whatever minutia is found in order to makes some folks feel better about the ugly state of our politics....and to rationalize their lack of supporting this President in any way at any time about just about everything.
