The last two weeks have been nothing but Obama bashing.
Can the guy do anything right? Apparently there is a healthy amount of slamming on Obama by the media and by the masses here at the Daily Kos. What is the deal? This is what always happens. Sometimes I swear us liberals are our own worst enemies. The thing that I have noticed is that when every things are going really well for our candidate, the media likes to try and even things out by slamming the shit out of the guy ahead. This is what is going on right now. Obama has a 15 point lead McCain and suddenly, BOOYAH...Obama is the worst. It only has to be repeated a couple of times and then it starts to seep into the minds of even people here. While I agree that Obama screwed up royally on the FISA decision, I am not a purity troll. I realized a long time ago that he is not perfect, he will never be perfect. So when he disappoints...get mad, yell a little, and get over it. Move on to the next fight. I agree 1000% that FISA is a huge deal. However the poisoning of the well has to stop. Now people are slamming Obama for not out right backing what Clark said today about McCain...GET FUCKING REAL. There is no way he could condone those comments. I am sure he agrees but please start living in reality. The whole point of surrogates is to allow them to say certain things for you. Who better to say those things than Clark. Obama would be torn to shreds by the media if he said it. Get REAL! So all I am saying is that this holding Obama to unrealistic heights is outrageous. I am so sick and tired of hearing how he is screwing up by going towards the center. News flash guys, his entire base isn't the Daily Kos. That being said, I appreciate good criticism, but I think people or falling into the horse race instead of the actually reality. People love to cut down the guy winning, even if its their guy.
