Nobody need get her knickers in a twist.    Nobody ever accused you of not supporting Obama, Carol.   We are well aware that you and Jack broke your backs working for him, and all his supporters owe you a huge debt of gratitude.



The fact remains that there has been just about constant sniping about him--and it continues--heavily from the Left. And an amazing amount of weak-minded nostalgia about Mr. Kucinich.

People seem to be unable to recognize that Obama never did promise a lot of what Lefties--and others-- think he did.   He in fact purposefully let people read into his statements what they wanted. This is common knowledge.

So these people have only themselves to blame when he does not live up their imagined expectations.   Furthermore, any president has to be flexible to deal with changing circumstances---and flexibility is not precisely what Lefties (or Righties) are famous for.




And, dear Richard, perhaps you've forgotten to tell us if you still think Obama is an "oreo". Can't imagine how that could have slipped your mind.   Incipient Alzheimer's?

The answer could have an impact on the question of whether you have any credibility at all when the subject is President Obama.
