Just proudly gave, what I can give, to Obama's 2012 reelection campaign

[hiphopnation]

It hasn't been a pretty first term, lots I disagree with him on and I'm not solely driven by the complete terror I feel at the prospect of the alternative - any alternative. He remains an inspirational figure to me and I want him to succeed and think he deserves another four years on the job.

*dons flame-retardant protective wear*

Geux'bama!!

1. The only alternative

is to push him to do what is right now, instead of waiting for re-election. Keep fighting for the jobs bill and don't let them break it up. Go after the banksters. Do something about oil speculation.

Stand up for the little guy.

I want him to succeed. I want him to help me forget the past two and half years. If he can do that then I'll donate again.

[KOfan]

2. Agreed!

Thats the spirit!

[Sheepshank]

3. I bought a chance at dinner...if I don't get dinner I'm still ok with that donation n/t

[hiphopnation]

4. oooh, me too!

[SwampG8r]

27. i dunno

they got some fine chefs at his house
i might end up a little jealous on that one

[rug]

5. I'll vote for him but I won't pay for his policies.

[great white snark]

9. I won't donate here because I have to read your posts.

Kinda the same.

[Sheepshank]

10. OTOH, I pay so I can read your posts without ads :)

[rug]

11. I wolud donate more if I didn't have to read yours.

Standards are slipping, tsk, tsk.

[jenmito]

14. Put him on ignore-then donate more. n/t

[rug]

15. Who said that?

:)

[jenmito]

16. I had a feeling you'd say something like that.

;)

[great white snark]

19. Ok I'll go, only for the good of DU.

"Standards are slipping, tsk, tsk."

I know, they let anybody in nowadays.
:P

[treestar]

29. duzy

:rofl:

[truebrit71]

6. He's not getting a dime for me. I'm going to support individual candidates though...

..I gave to Elizabeth Warren and ActBlue yesterday...

[vroomvroom]

7. Wall Street will be sending you a Thank You card in the Mail.

[jenmito]

12. As will the gay people in the military who will no longer have to lie about who they are.

[Logical]

21. So will the military contractors who have made a shitload of money off this war!

[totodeinhere]

22. Allowing gays to serve openly in the military is a good thing. I don't think you

will get an argument from anyone here about that. But some of us regard that as nothing more than a few crumbs tossed our way to distract us from so many other issues. This administration is in bed with Wall Street and is beholden to big money interests. Yes, they can give us gays in the military because that won't cost the ruling class any money and it won't stop our military involvement all over the world.

[jenmito]

23. So everything GOOD that he gets done="a few crumbs tossed our way"? And if

he's so "in bed with Wall Street" etc., why does Wall St. HATE him?

[CakeGrrl]

13. Are you voting for him in 2012? Yes or no?

[Phx_Dem]

8. I think I'll do the same and then join you for a glass of that yummy looking wine!

:D

[young but wise]

17. K&R

[Logical]

18. I donated $2000 in 2008. None this time. But I will vote for him.

[great white snark]

20. I'll give what I can.

Some major disagreements but he has certainly earned my support once again.

[slay]

24. Can I pay to switch him out with a real progressive?

or even just a democrat. good lord he's just terrible i can't give to that - my condolences.

[BenzoDia]

25. I love your spirit. I gave a little after his jobs plan surfaced.

All things considered, I feel he's doing a good job and he has earned our continued support.

GObama!

[SwampG8r]

26. fear of his alternatives has left the building here also

he is still a pretty inspirational figure historically and i hope he does well in the future.
i am only giving locally this time around though

[Raine]

28. I'll keep my money this time around, I need it more than he does

especially if things continue the same as they are now. Obama can get his funds from Wall Street and Corporations the way he has always done.

[defendandprotect]

30. Party is now controlled ....

by the Third Way and you're helping them along?

[hiphopnation]

31. the party is you and me

and the thousands of people who volunteer time, money, and effort to reelect a Democratic president who's deserving of a second term. Yes, I am helping that cause along. No, I'm not drinking Kool Aid.
