44. Yes, let's just have government by polling

Gay marriage? Not popular - kill it!
Privatizing education? Hey, that's popular, let's do it!
More military spending? Hey, people seem to like the military, so right on!
Public option? Single-payer? No, those seem to be unpopular, so let's not do it.

Unfortunately, the right thing to do isn't always popular, which is what people like you fail to see. If it upsets you so much to see people taking Obama to task over things, start using "Ignore." Then DU can turn into the echo chamber you so desperately want.
