5. Especially on DU.
I find it interesting that DU'er s go NUTS over Obama's failures, but NEVER mention the good things.

It's annoying.

64. That statement reminds me of my
EX husband. I could never mention something he did that I didn't like unless I first listed everything he did that I did like which probably explains a lot about why he is an EX.

I've seen plenty of things mentioned about Obama that people liked and things he did that people liked. But, right now, the overwhelming fact is the idea that he would put SS and Medicare on the table overrides a lot of those good things.

6. I'm still leaving those as question marks for the moment
..since we haven't seen an actual plan yet. However, I would be lying if I said I was optimistic about their chances. :(

3. Let's see, He started the Consumer Bureau Warren wanted and named her handpicked guy as head
He pushed DADT to the limits and it's being overturned
He's on schedule in pulling troops out of both Iraq and Afghanistan
He's already passed some financial reform

11. They just sued to be allowed to continue DADT
So that mixed message makes it sort of naff to bring up this state of 'being overturned' that is unlike any law I have ever seen before, 'being' rather than just over fucking turned.
The demand for celebration of that not yet finished is cloying. All the foot dragging to his anti marriage stance and dogma shouting, and there is cause for being mindful in the way the subject is used rhetorically.

31. It is temporary
Edited on Sun Jul-17-11 07:54 PM by Number23
Not only is it temporary, but the order to temporarily reinstate it "also blocks the military "from investigating, penalizing or discharging anyone from the military pursuant to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy." so not one member will be discharged during this temporary reinstatement. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/16/us-military-gays-idUSTRE76F14Z20110716

I have absolutely no idea why this has to re-instated at all, but your comments don't reflect the reality of the situation.

24. Obama strongly, and fiercely, supports the reelection of Obama.
A goal that he believes is to be achieved by winning "the middle" by moving audaciously to the right.
