OK so I'm working with Organizing for American again.

[county worker]

I'm really pissed at Obama but I'm going to work for him again. I guess the wing nuts are just so much worse I got to get doing something.

[polichick]

1. I'll work for a bold populist primary challenger, but not for Obama again...

If the prez is still the lesser of all evils (corporate servants), I'll vote for him in 2012.

[csziggy]

6. I'll consider working for the Democratic nominee unless there is a miracle

And a real LIBERAL Progressive with a chance of winning gets in the race. I will NOT go out and campaign for one candidate while the Democratic Party forms their typical circular firing squad. Besides around here even when I have tried to volunteer early along in the process there is no apparatus to use volunteers, even if they are willing to work for the state party for free.

2. I will try to work for the people in some capacity.

So far, we devote time for the poor at Catholic Parish Outreach.

3. congrats

[Enrique]

4. so you're going to be saying "win the future" a lot on DU?

;-)

[county worker]

7. No I don't do any work on DU. It is in my state and community

[Shagbark Hickory]

5. I guess the pundits were right. You'd all come around in the end.

[county worker]

8. Well I can't sit on my ass until some day comes along

[AC_Mem]

9. I am too

I support the President, I support the Democratic way.

I'll be there and if you are watching America right now and seeing what the Republicans are doing to our country, and still sit back and don't go beyond your personal feelings to help our fellow Americans, I don't even know what to say to you.

President Obama is one man. We have huge corporations, billionaires and madmen and women who want to destroy our country and our way of life. Do you REALLY think that not supporting the President for 2012 because he "isn't doing enough" is going to help us out of this?

I don't get it, I really don't. Do I agree with every decision President Obama is making? No, but he is The President and he is a hell of a lot better than what we had. We need every single person to STEP UP or we are really going to be in trouble, and it will be worse for our future generations.

I hope that those who posted that they will not help in 2012 will sleep on it and reconsider. We need your help.

10. If Obama was even trying to push back

against the Repubs and the corporations, I would support him. But he is going along with them, even offering states the chance to back out of his health care legislation. I think the first Bush was more liberal than Obama!! He is acting just like a Repub, so why bother?? I say this with fear and sadness in my heart for my country. I am just astounded at how republican Obama acts.

[groundloop]

14. You REALLY need to understand something re. "back out of his health care...."

The proposal is that states can opt out of the Affordable Care Act IF- AND ONLY IF - they can prove they have another means of offering the same level of coverage to at least the same number of people as the Affordable Care Act. In other words, if a state wants to offer Public Option, go for it. If a state wants to do single payer, go for it.

As far as your assertion that "Bush was more liberal than Obama", where have you been???? DADT is gone. Obama ordered DOJ to stop defending DOMA. And on and on. WAKE UP!!!!

[AC_Mem]

16. Exactly - FACTUAL information

This is even more reason why we should be signing up to get the truth out. Stating that the President is letting states back out of the health care law is MIS-INFORMATION. This is what we are learning about with OFA, and what I knew from actually reading the entire article and watching the entire segment.

Half-information is what the republicans run with, it shouldn't be what democrats discuss. At the very least, we should be well educated on current American events.

Please, join me. Let's journey to 2012 and help President Obama and our democrats win and move forward instead of backward. We need you!

And btw, if you are in Memphis - PM ME, I've got work for you to do :)

Shine on,

13. Yes, "we have huge corporations.....who want to destroy our country"...

So why is this president buying their narrative instead of standing up to the bullshit? The budget battle is ridiculous! The people want more taxes for millionaires, no subsidies for corps, to end the wars, and less money for the military - but this prez cuts more and more things that help people and won't really help with the deficit.

He's not standing up to them at a time when a populist Dem could be kicking ass!

[Bluebear]

11. good luck.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. I'll help local and state Dems, but not Obama

His anti-teacher/public education agenda is a deal breaker for me.

[groundloop]

15. Good for you CountyWorker. A President is never going to be perfect....

And President Obama isn't perfect. I disagree with him on several issues, and don't like the way he's handled others. But he's W-A-Y better than any of the repug alternatives that will be coming along. My family and I did some volunteer work for him in '08 and we'll more than likely do the same in 2012 (even though we're in solid red Georgia). Doing nothing is not an option, the alternative is just too damned scary to think about.

[LaurenG]

17. Yeah it really doesn't make sense to work against someone who is

the closest thing to our own politics with a viable chance of winning at this point. I want a person more like the Dalai Lama, or a liberal Jesus but that is never going to happen.
