"Yay! Obama's back!"
"Now there's the person I elected!"
"I'm ready to donate to him again!"
Well, fair weather supporter, I'm glad you're back. It's been a long time - two weeks - since you left, and things around here have been loud without you. All I've been hearing is "Obama gave up" and "Obama doesn't want it that badly" and...oh wait, that was you?
Yes, yes, I know the excuses. I've read enough of them, in the diaries, and in the comments. Even today, almost every positive story had a "I hope Obama lives up to his end."
Well, you know what. I never left, and neither did Obama. I had his back, even against the charges here that he's just not wanting it bad enough, that he just isn't willing to fight.
And the reason I've had his back is all of the things he's done for us:
Ended DADT and allowed gays to serve openly in the military
Obamacare
Lily Ledbetter
Saved GM and Chryser
Reduced oil consumption
Stopped Republicans from doing all of their crazy shit
Got Democrats to actually defend their platform
To all of you who had Obama's back as well, I'm glad you were here. To all of you returning, if all it takes is a debate to scare you away, I'll just be nice and say, welcome back. Stay in front of me. I'll have your back.
