Reply #13: Great. I just think we need to stop expecting this one man to do things for us by himself..... [View All]

and that we need to lift him up now and again......

because at the end of the day, what we want done is for us...
and I think we'll have to do more than just have voted on November 2008,
and then waited in the wings, while throwing rocks,
and not truly informing ourselves on what's already been done,
and what it is that we can do to get more.

There are too many people that have failed to inform themselves
on the issues and what is actually going on, because it would require
work, and they just don't feel like that is something they want to do.

There are some who act like they are well informed, but really aren't,
as they operate in a bubble that doesn't highlight positively anything that
this President has done, only what still hasn't done, or didn't do to their specification.

To turn away from this President, and say one is embarrassed about his accomplishments,
or that he somehow didn't deliver, is more self defeating than Obama defeating,
and serves no purpose that will help us in 2012, and in fact is a danger to our ability
to continue the progress that has been started.

Being right about one's assessment with only half of the information
is more dangerous still. It's not a game, and we should be serious about
the consequences that our inaction and the misinformation that we spread around,
as it may just cost us more than we are willing to pay, as spelled out here: http://www.democratsforprogress.com/2011/09/03/we-all-have-a-choice-in-the-2012-election/
