In reply to the discussion: I "Fuck"ing support Will Pitt! [View all]Systematic Chaos
(8,601 posts)This is the first time I've had a go-around with anyone else on the DU in as long as I can remember. Frankly, it ain't accomplishing shit and it's not healthy. I think I'm done in that regard. I know what I think and why, and it sure as shit isn't because I'm a right-winger.
Mind if I ask you where your opinions lie about the whole SotU? The Obama Presidency in general?
I missed the SotU and intend to go back by tomorrow afternoon and watch it all. So give me all the crap you want about defending Will Pitt without having watched the speech, but based upon my general overall opinion of this Administration I am more than somewhat confident that Mr. Pitt has it right. As for this Administration, I don't remember which issue it was published in, but The Nation magazine ran a piece about Obama's corporatist ties in probably 2005, maybe 2006, which warned us what we'd be in for if he were elected. From that moment on, I knew I was miles to the left of Obama and that if he were elected I would find myself at odds with how he ran the country. Well...here we are.
So what say you? Is this another eight years of Camelot or something in your eyes?
