"O" as in Obama. Barack Hussein Obama , who after months of being attacked
(And don't even bother asking for the link. You know dayem well he was)
He and Joe Biden did what they had to with their base in mind to get us this victory. But instead of give praise to whom praise is due, I only see one diary thanking he and Nancy Pelosi and the grassroots. They went through so much to get this victory and all the while Obama was accused of stabbing the Progressives in the back and being a centrist.
Oh and I'm sure I'm gonna get a little bit of crap and some "Hey we ALL deserve the credit today" and sure , sure we do. But I'm not talking to those of you were were fair and fought for the cause and not against Obama. I'm specifically talking about the ones who whipped Obama day in and day out and discouraged the base so bad that many registered democratic voters didn't bother showing up in November and we lost the House.
Ummm, they should not be celebrating in the streets right now. They caused more harm than good . Okay, put YOUR balloon away because you did not help. All you did was HELP cause problems and HELP us lose the House of Reps and HELPED us lose some of our best Progressive warriors. So, that's what your HELP did. What's next, you ask ? No, no you know what, you've done enough. Why don't you take a break. And I'm not calling out one person. I'm calling out an attitude that I'm already seeing. And I don't wanna be on the rec list because this diary aint for everyone.
(NOTE)
The purpose of this diary should be clear , but if not, I will explain. I do not want young activists thinking that it was the destructive tactics that are being celebrated and attacks against President Obama that brought change to Washington DC today. It was the hard united grassroots efforts of petition signing and phones calls , coupled with the determination of a White House to keep it's promise to the American people and a House of Reps who did not back down. And a Senate who was forced to keep their end of a compromise because the whole world was watching. Not useless and baseless attacks and calling of names and negative writings. So, please (share) this with anyone you know who might need it.
