So lets all boycott Obama, OFA and other democratic leaning groups because Obama hasn't done enough, quickly enough, to please everyone. Lets not send any of those democrats any money, lets not give them our time, lets not try to help other liberal causes that are in the works so we can show our mighty displeasure.
That's just great. Thanks, Kos.
This is the same shit the Republicans did to Carter, Clinton, and now Obama. "Weak on National Defense," "Weak on Policy," "Murderers, drug smugglers and fast women," (only the fast women portion proved to be correct). With Obama we have a very similar scenario, he's weak on national defense, weak on policy, weak on defending the rights of the GLBT, weak on (insert your own favorite). Republicans love to paint democrats as being weak.
With Carter the Republicans were fortunate. The rise of OPEC and the Iran hostage situation caused huge economic and political problems for Carter, and the Republicans took advantage of all of them. I've seen reports that the republicans extended the Iran hostage situation for their own benefit, and Ronald Regan was elected President as a result.
We all remember Bill Clinton and the firestorm of hate that he endured. He was accused of murder most foul, trafficing in wild women (with the help of the local police), drug running from an airport in Arkansas, and an investigation of his business dealings (Whitewater) that captivated millions of viewers and millions of dollars in the investigation, which went nowhere. They finally got to Clinton through Monica Lewinsky, and impeached him for it.
The same shit is happening now with Obama, and the mighty Kos has decided to join in by endorsing a boycott of Obama and functions that might help Obama, and his policies. Way to go, Kos, the republicans must be pleased with you.
There are many things that I dislike in our world right now. There are a lot of people starving, the planet Earth (our only home) is probably going to hell in a handbasket, there are rumors of continuing torture, healthcare reform has become a watered-down version of what I would like, there are wars for which we are responsible continuing, with all the mayhem and destruction that follows, both here and abroad, GLBT people are still discriminated against, as are Blacks, Native American people, and just about anyone who isn't a white male republican. George W Bush and Cheney are not in chains and on trial for war crimes! I would love it if they were, but lets be real.
Obama is responsible for it all! Boycott President Obama!
You know what, Kos? All that shit was going on before. It was happening throughout the last, lets see, six or eight, maybe ten presidencies, or maybe all of them. I'm truly sorry that President Barack Obama hasn't made you as happy as you might have been had the Goddess blessed you with your wishes within his first ten months. The Military-Industrial-Congressional complex is still there, the entrenched beauracracy is stll at work in the government, many of them trying to undermine our President. Why do you wish to help them?
But lets ALL get our anger up and fetch our folk and BOYCOTT BARACK OBAMA!
