23. The trains already left the station
The division is already here and it had NOTHING to do with the Republicans. Obama promised "change" and he thought of the word as a "marketing tool", but many who voted for him took his "branding" seriously. I think it is going to bite him in the behind, because people didn't want a bunch of nice sounding propaganda, they wanted true change.

The time to deal with the division is NOW, and shutting your eyes and holding your hands over your ears is not the response that will bring the party back together. This is not limited to DU, it is all over the blogoshere and liberal radio and Television. There is a HUGE and growing dissatisfaction. He cannot ignore half of his party.

So what are you going to do? Sit and complain how everyone will not play the game that was setup? Or start listening to the people that elected him and changing his stances. The ball is in Obama's court.
