Jeremy Bird from OFA sent me and a million of his closest friends an email thanking us for helping to pass insurance reform (he called it health care reform).
The subject line was "because of you." I'm sure thousands of you got it.
I'm still stunned by the idiocy of the Administration's energy plan news today, and not a little disgusted, so I scrolled to the bottom and clicked UNSUBSCRIBE. I was greeted with a form that asked me why. My response is below the fold.
Because President Obama is acting like an idiot. He finally (barely) gets momentum with the insurance reform victory and then proves he learned nothing by giving away his energy policy negotiating tool (offshore drilling.) And the GOP still kicked sand in his face. He is like the 98 pound weakling that won't accept that the popular kids will NEVER work with him. EVER. I am officially giving up that he will ever learn. Way to demotivate your base by hippie-punching those dirty liberals who love clean water and clean air. Real smooth. Moron.
So I guess that was my GBCW to OFA. I don't have time to waste on idiots who can't smell the frickin coffee. You would think that after a year of basically getting urinated upon by the GOP that Obama would take off the gloves. Instead he gives them this on a silver platter without making them give him anything in return. Kind of like he gave away single payer. Kind of like he gave up on the public option. Weak tea bullshit. Hugely disappointed here.
