18. I'm Still A Hold Out... I Don't Want To Take anything Away From Obama
because what he did, he did effectively... Repukes or not! But that IS the point... many crossover Repukes voted for him! That say VOLUMES to me!

I feel he's slowly sliding more to the "right" all the time, and it makes me VERY NERVOUS!! As a liberal, one who always knew Bill Clinton was to the right of me, I feel Obama is going even further that Bill Clinton. I DON'T go along with the naive idea that "anyone" can just reach across the aisle and expect "that loving feeling" from them. If anyone hasn't noticed, they aren't KNOWN for giving up ANYTHING easily!!

It's a noble goal, but it's going to take more than just smiling sweetly and pouring syrup at the same time. Not with so many Repukes who have STUCK with this Idiot, Decider through thick and thin! I seriously DOUBT that they were that stupid, they were sticking together because they were Repukes and UNITY is their game, no matter the consequences to "we the people!"

This has ALWAYS been my problem with Obama! Putting on blinders so as not to see the road blocks is much to risky as far as I'm concerned!

And there's ONE MORE THING we as Democrats had better start facing! Many of OUR OWN don't even stand up for US, and as much as the hype we hear about Democrats taking over the WH & Congress, I'm not so sure about that! I know I'm pretty sick of how they've NOT worked for us, and I know LOTS of people are looking to become Independents because of it. And they may or may NOT vote for a Democrat. I myself am very upset with what so many of OUR OWN have NOT done. They still haven't REALLY stood up to these corrupt people. Sure, a few investigations and a small victory here or there... but who's really HURTING???
