I've read your diary about giving up on Obama...his actions of working with the GOP was the last straw...blah blah blah....well frankly...it's got me on pure meltdown, and I call bullshit to your little rant.
I understand you were a big time supporter and now you feel you can go longer...let me say this... what... the... fuck... ever...who else could you have supported that would have not done the very same thing...I'll wait....
Sometimes I read these diaries and wonder if folks here have a true clasp of reality of Obama situation....do they ever get out of the echo chamber, and tune in to the real world...
I said it in my comments on your diary and I'll say it again...if this is the issue that broke the camel's back...then lady you weren't a supporter in the first place...
Why...? because if Obama would have done what you suggest or even hinted at it Joe Biden would be the President today...that you can take to the bank...is that something that you wish for someone that you supposedly support....for him to take a stance that will in all likelihood cost him his life
Can you be mad at him about health care...? Yea I am...Can you be mad at him for not giving the GOP the solid middle finger when he had the majority and pushed for more progressive Legislation...? Hell Yea...I am....
Hell I can think of a myriad of issues to throw in the towel on Obama for...but lady this one is not it...
Have you not been paying attention the last two years...have you not witnessed the open hostility the right and frankly some on the left have shown the first African American President in this country...the amount of utter fucking disrespect for a human being they have shown this man...
You haven't seen the signs that depict every form of evil racist bullshit that they can come up with except for "N-Word go home"
And you want him to take this position...
He had Secret Service detail, before the ink was dry on his declaration to run...a fist
They have been arresting folks seemingly every week for wanting to kill him just for trying to do the little he has done...
People openly walking around and carrying guns at his Presidential rallies....another first
Gun and safe sales are at a all time high since he took office...
You had a member of Congress in the first time in history jump up in a dual session and angrily yell you lie about something he was telling the truth about...
Nevermind all the rest of the shenanigans pulled by the GOP and some in his own party to openly undermine anything in regards to what little he has he tried to do...to help the middle class in this country...
He's been called and labeled a socialist, Nazi, Muslim, a Manchurian Candidate a illegal alien...everything that is perceived to be hostile to this country...since the day he took office...
People in the Appalachia's and lot of uninformed low info citizens cowering in fear and openly discussing the fact that he wants to enslave them for payback for Slavery
And you're done with him because he didn't take the position of offering up a former Caucasian President to a foreign country for prosecution of war crimes his first term in office...are you serious...get the fuck out of here with that...
The right racist assholes in this country would have went into pure nuclear meltdown of epic proportions...you would have had open urban warfare, martial law and the national guard on the street to this day
Is that what you voted for...is that what you want...
Step out of the ether and come down to reality...they hate him, and it goes far beyond just policy...if you want to be done with Obama fine...have at it...but not on this issue...
Considering the hostility of the environment he gets a free pass on this one
