Barack Obama is the greatest leader the world has ever known. He's so perfect that we cannot afford to have him lose the next election. Obama should thus immediately declare himself to be President for Life so that we can continue to have his leadership for decades to come!
Or so the cheerleaders want you to think!
Of course, nobody actually believes this.
Just as vanishingly few progressive critics of the President believe that progressives would be better off if the Republican Party nominee wins in 2012. That's why diaries that make ridiculous arguments like this never make the rec list.
So why does a diary that suggests that many progressives believe that it would be good if Obama loses to the GOP in 2012 make the rec list?
Let me get very serious in this brief diary that began with total snark:
This is a deeply politically divided community. Sometimes those divisions are a sign of our diversity and strength. Sometimes they're a sign of weakness.
But whether our goal is to overcome those differences or to learn to live with them, none of us on any side of our various political divides is served by creating strawmen to argue against.
