I don't have much to say. This will be quick.

If the so-called progressive community is done with Obama, than the black community will most likely be done with you. We aren't that worried about Republicans, we have certainly dealt with worse.

Now, you can take that shit however you want, but good luck with whatever you are planning because you will need it. Especially, since you haven't been able to sway a majority of white voters to your 'cause' in 30 years. Without us this party is nothing. Have fun planning your primary challenge and "progressing uprising" without us. We will be by and large standing with the president.

I hate that more troops are going into Afghanistan. I wish this wasn't the President's decisions. I'm pissed at the Bush Administrations, the neocons, Osama, and every damn body else for this war. I'm hate the decision that President Obama has made, but I'm not pissed because he's doing what he said he would do. He didn't lie, he didn't obfuscate, he has not betrayed liberals or progressives. Some one following threw on there words is honest even when disappointing.

Is anyone really suprised or shocked? It's been coming since the campaign. "He's a muslim, his pastor is a racist, he's not an American citizen, etc". It's been building up to this for some time and the usual players are leading it: FOX, Beck, Rush, Hannity, Dobbs and the far right websites. It's all been coming for sometime. As an AA, I have long feared this was inevitable. I asked the white posters on the board if we could talk in my first diary which made the rec list during the campaign. http://www.dailykos.com/... It was about some of the comcerns over the racism that people were encountering while campaigning for President Obama. Now I need you to talk to me because I'm getting scared. I'm having a hard time taking my own advice.

I'm sitting her pissed off, shocked and nearly in tears over what Harry Reid and the Blue Dog Demcrats are doing. I can't believe they are going to let the GOP kill healthcare reform AGAIN! I can't believe they are going to screw Obama and neuter his Presidency. I can't believe they are destroying the prospects for a progressive era in American politics. I'm just stunned. Not that Reid is a pussy or that the Blue Dogs are DINO corporate whores. I knew that, but I just didn't know how self destructive they were.

I have commented many times in many threads on what I often fell to be tiresome bitching, moaning and general knee-jerk hand ringing. I no doubt will continue to do so in the future. I'm an only child so, my general disposition is to have difficulty suffering the complaints of others while expecting full attention for my own. (LOL!) That being said, I apologize because at least I know your beef with Obama is about actual policy. Which is far more then can be safely said for anyone on the right.

I need some of the self appointed gurus around here to tell me because I don't know anymore. Who's a real progressive? Who's a real liberal? Who's a moderate? I need one of you saying there aren't enough progressives in Obama's administration to tell the rest of us who thought we were progressives and liberals, who are pretty happy with PE Obama and his cabinet so far, just exactly what the litmus test is. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs to be educated. Is it like baseball, three strikes and you're out? Is there a list or manifesto somewhere? Because I didn't see the damn thing.

Excuse me while I go on a rant for a minute or two.

I still have hope and believe that Barack will win. I have tuned out the MSM, the polls and the chicken littles. But I understand the fear. This isn't political or idealogical. This is spiritual. This is about our nation's soul. Is it a good soul? Is it an improving soul? Or is there something rotten at it's core? On November 4th we will find out. And there is no pretending otherwise.

I think Obama needs some attention right now. The media is not his friend and they are focusing in on their new darling, Vlad the ImPalin. I think Obama has to something to grab attention. My suggestion...... Colin Powell! Obama used endorsements very effectively to change the narrative during the primaries when he needed a little umph. I think he should do it now too.

I'm new and if this has been dairied before, I apologize but I think some people need a reminder of the reality of our candidate's situation. He is a black man named Barack Hussein Obama. Did you think this would be easy?

Go easy on me, this is my first diary. But I feel I must address some of the hand ringing going on around here. p
