LOL....1/2 the posts here are trying to convince people Obama is perfect!

[KansasVoter]

I imagine the Freepers were doing the same thing during the Bush administration.

As much as I like Obama, I am shocked and disappointed this place does not think there needs to be any real debate about some topics Obama has not meet expectations. Just Blind Support. Like religion. "You just got to believe".

And I am sure most responses to this post will say our expectations are too high. Well, those high expectations made people work their asses off for Obama in 2008. So were they wrong to work their asses off for him? You can't have it both ways.

[babylonsister]

1. Isn't that horse dead yet from being beaten endlessly?

:boring:

[Cha]

2. Bullshit..you don't know what you're talking about

but you'll make sure you start a thread on it.

Fuck your freepers comparisons.

That's the whole fucking point..Obama is not perfect.

[stevenleser]

66. Where did that person get this?

Its just bizarre.

[stevenleser]

67. Oh, and IBTL

[tekisui]

3. It is absurd.

I worked my ass off, and being critical of a position taken by the President I voted for has left me labeled all sorts of ridiculous names.

The Party-Liners would have preferred me and my ilk to stay home, and be left complaining about McPOW, I guess.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

54. I supported Obama throughout the Primary

Hell, I supported Obama for Senate in Illinois, but now I am a "left wing teabagger", "a PUMA" and "never supported Obama anyway". It is, in the words of John Wayne "getting to be regoddamndiculous".

[SemiCharmedQuark]

55. You honestly believe HALF the posts on DU are claiming Obama is perfect?

There are probably...5 or 6 posters that post stuff anywhere remotely close to that idea. This OP is pointless hyperbole.

On edit: Scratch that. I think it does have a point:

[tekisui]

59. You are right.

It really is just a handful that take that position.

[ClassWarrior]

4. Link to one.

Just one.

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

11. Are those crickets I hear?...

:eyes:

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

21. Still waiting...

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

26. So you don't post to defend your original point, but you do post to hurl insults at a good DUer...

...like Frenchie?

:eyes:

NGU.

[liberal N proud]

5. Have you been reading them?

Because I see a lot of criticism.

[robo50]

71. Self Delete

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. That's because the other half is bitching and moaning because he isn't utterly perfect

and judging him not by any kind of human standard, but judging him up against Perfection itself.

Of course he's going to fail against that, and of course those of us who aren't silly little poutraging children are going to try to defend against the silliness.

When people have legitimate gripes against the president - of which there are many things worthy to gripe about - I don't see people going to extremes to defend him.

It's only the silly bullshit that brings out the equally silly defenses.

[Hamlette]

7. And I'm shocked and depressed that some here think everything he does is bad

It's been nearly a year and he has not ended discrimination, war, poverty, pimples and everything else. What's wrong with him?

[Sebastian Doyle]

8. He's getting shitty advice from the likes of Rahm and the Elf?

:shrug:

[AllentownJake]

24. The Elf

:rofl:

That's why unemployment has been a problem, the fucker's been trying to convert the country to a cookie system.

[QC]

9. Are you trying to suggest that he's not perfect? ALERT AND IGNORE!1! ALERT AND INGORE!!!!1

[ClarkUSA]

62. No, the OP is attacking all Obama supporters as "Freepers" on a pro-Democratic forum.

:eyes:

[dionysus]

79. that guy really think his insults to obama supproters are clever...

:shrug:

never mind the hypocricy in that he backed an uber DLC candidate...

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. Oy vey...

13. And the other half are about the assholery of Sarah Palin and her followers.

They were, up until yesterday, anyway. Geez, it's crazy. Just give me a good, old-fashioned "I will kick accident-causing texters' asses" thread.

[CJCRANE]

14. Most of your posts are meta-posts about other posts...

:crazy:

[FrenchieCat]

15. And who are you, the fucking Thread Police?

Who died and put you in charge of the 1st amendment?
Do people get to post what they want,
or do they have to go through you first to make sure
that their posting pass your muster?

Or did you want folks to herd up into a Free Speech Zone somewhere
off of DU? :shrug:

Now the next time you want to "inform" us
who is like Bush and his Freepers Freaks,
make sure you're looking in the mirror.

[KansasVoter]

18. Write all the dribble you want. It is always a big affair for you.

[FrenchieCat]

19. Thanks for giving me the go ahead!

Don't know if I would have been brave enough otherwise,
without your nod! :sarcasm:

[KansasVoter]

20. Make sure is is really long and dramatic. Your style!

[FrenchieCat]

35. The beauty of the Internet, is that you don't even have to read any of what I write.....

Ain't that just somethin'?

[KansasVoter]

43. I do, to see how self important you think you are. Entertaining!

[billh58]

16. Comparing DU-ers

to Freepers on DU looks like a sure-fire way to ignite a flame war, while insulting a majority of DU members at the same time. Or was that the purpose of the OP in the first place? Seems a little masochistic to me.

[CakeGrrl]

17. Get back to me at the halfway point of his term or so before we talk about

"meeting expectations".

[knightinwhitesatin]

39. Well 50% of that 50% you cite

has already passed.

[malletgirl02]

22. What DU have you been reading?

Most of the post I see on DU are critical of Obama.

[AllentownJake]

23. No the perfect meme went out with the House Health Care bill

Now the meme is Sara Palin is coming and if you at all point to anything you don't like, all you are doing is helping her become President.

The idea that the thing you don't like shouldn't happen in the first place and that is more likely to bring Sarah Palin than acknowledging you don't like something is too complex. If you pretend it didn't happen...it didn't happen.

[jefferson_dem]

25. "As much as i like Obama..."

uh huh. speaks itelf.

[Baltoman991]

27. What's the matter,

can't you be honest when you try and slam Obama supporters or are you really to dense to figure out what we've been saying all along.

It is we, the supporters who day in and day out remind you, the haters that the man isn't perfect and he's going to make mistakes. But 90% of the shit you slam him with on a daily basis is made up bullshit.

Now tell me, who is it that really sounds like a freeper? Here's a clue.......it's those who lie daily about President Obama to try and slam him.

Hope that clears it up for you.

[HughMoran]

28. I've yet to see one example of what you're saying

What purpose does this serve?

[David Zephyr]

29. There are progressives and then there are disciples.

Your post was a brave one. I commend you for it.

Always question authority.

[Cha]

34. And, you have nothing but name calling from up there on your

self inflated perch. Careful you don't fall off patting yourself on the back.

[David Zephyr]

40. Cha, Obama is making a big mistake.

You know better.

[Cha]

44. I don't know if he is or not but I know you're making

a mistake by calling people "disciples" who don't agree with you.

[ClarkUSA]

57. Wrong. There are those who attack Obama & his supporters 24/7 vs. those who have to read their BS.

Self-righteous name-calling directed at Obama supporters shows which camp you and the OP are in.

[JohnnyLib2]

30. IBTL -- or implosion, whichever happens first.

42. +1

[krawhitham]

33. and the other half claim he can do nothing right

which is very unfreeper like, at least they always stuck by their guy

[Aramchek]

36. Because Obama=Bush, right?

take your OneTermer dufus posts to a PUMA board where they will be appreciated for their lack of intelligence.

[NYC_SKP]

37. *cough*cough *ahem bullshit *cough *cough...

actually, 1/2 the posts are critical, most of these not offering alternatives...

[jefferson_dem]

45. This poster is no fan of Obama.

Hasn't been for as long as I can remember. ...Thinly veiled "concern-laden" posts aplenty.

[paulk]

49. another one under the bus

I seem to remember the OP as one of Obama's biggest supporters during the primaries...

[QC]

50. In the fundamentalist church in which I was raised,

when a person who had once been a faithful member subsequently fell into drinkin' and carryin' on and runnin' around, it was always declared that he or she had never really been a true Christian at all, despite all appearances.

[jefferson_dem]

69. I would never characterize the OP as "drinkin' and carryin' on and runnin' around"

Nope. Not me.

[ClarkUSA]

60. She was never on the bus... the OP was never a noted Obama supporter at any point.

Her big sig photo was always a cover. I have a very good memory. :)

[paulk]

64. then she should surely be ostracized

or perhaps burned at the stake...

[ClarkUSA]

65. I was correcting an erroneous perception of the OP.

:)

[jefferson_dem]

68. Hey, welcome back!

:hi:

Hillary's doing a terrific job as Secretary of State, huh? I sure am glad we put all that primary bullshit behind us.

[JohnnyLib2]

70. And the Hillary Clinton forum is still open.....

:evilgrin:

[paulk]

74. I've never left

I didn't let assholes like you run me off...

[seattle_blue]

38. Let us get down to basics

We have only two viable political parties in this country. I find it disheartening to come to a site known as the democraticunderground, only to find venomous and vile remarks being hurled at our Democratic President.
Do people forget so quickly what we had under the bush regime?
President Obama was handed a country in its death-nell. Now he's trying his hardest to fix it.
No! you do not have to support President Obama, that's a personal choice.
But, let this be known, when President Sarah Palin is holding a press conference about her preemptive strike on Iran...I don't want to hear flip from all of the Obama nay sayers.

[treestar]

56. Yes, they are so easy to "disappoint"

They are the ones who expected Obama to be the Messiah.

Their "expectations" are what the rule of the world should be.

I feel sorry for their kids. Probably disappoint them to and can't meet their extravagant "expectations."

[JTFrog]

41. mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them

:eyes:

[LaydeeBug]

46. While I agree there are some relentless cheerleaders (even when Obama is going against

our Party's Platform, I don't see OPs calling him perfect. They just don't want YOU to say that he's not.

But I missed all the supposed hoopla so...

[phleshdef]

47. And the other half is trying to convince people that Obama is a stealth Republican.

[Mosby]

48. Funny I've never read any posts about Obama being perfect.

Way to make shit up for no reason at all.

[ClarkUSA]

51. You are contemptuously comparing Obama supporters to "Freepers" in a strawman attack OP.

Just so we're all clear on what you're doing. Your big Obama/Biden sig picture isn't fooling anyone as to what's your real
agenda here on DU: trash and demonize anything to do with President Obama, including his supporters.

[CJCRANE]

61. He's broken the Unwritten Rule of DU:

Do Not Insult Our Intelligence.

If he wants to fool us he needs to try harder.

[ClarkUSA]

63. Oh, she aka. the OP does that all the time.

"If he wants to fool us he needs to try harder."

Oh, the cat has been out of the bag for a long time on this one. ;)

[freddie mertz]

76. Actually I think the level of deranged hero worship we are seeing

Far exceeds anything that was ever bestowed on Bush.

Obama is a much more impressive, magnetic figure than Bush ever was.

Even his most devoted followers could probably see the goofiness in him.

It's easier to understand how some folks have become intellectually blinded in the glow of Obama's brilliance.

That doesn't make it anything other than pathetic, however, when it veers to the extremes we are seeing lately.

[Jennicut]

52. The people who think Obama is 100% perfect or 100% terrible all the time are both nuts.

He is human. Hence, he is infallible and makes mistakes.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

53. LOL. Oh brother...

Some posts, sure. But 1/2? Not. A. Chance.

[azmouse]

58. Oh c'mon. You're better than this.

You knew this would create trouble.
No one here thinks Obama is perfect but some of us do think he is the right person for the job at this time.

[robo50]

72. What a waste of internet bandwidth this thread is......and so dishonest, too n/t

[Honeycombe8]

73. You forgot the link. Who are all the posters who have said Obama is perfect?

I think that YOU are the one who is misleading in your posting.

[freddie mertz]

75. They get crazier and more hysterical by the day.

First we had "imagined" terror attacks on the NYC subway system, the main "problem" of which was the potential PR damage for the White House.

NOW we have hallucinatory speculation as to how much better he would have protected the country in 2001.

It's unhinged, the product or irrational, ginned up crazy defensiveness.

Some people need to stop for a reality check, get their perspective back.

[vaberella]

77. I don't know what expectations your talking about. I heard his promises as a candidate.

He's meeting 97% of his promises...so uh...I don't know what you're talking about except shit.

[dionysus]

78. no, more like half the posts here are calling him worse than bush.
