Some things have not changed, [View all]

nor will they -- ever. Here's a link to a post on KOS from a year and a half ago addressing stuff similar to what we've been seeing here since the day after the election (both of them, actually!) I honestly don't get it. Why do EVEN Dems seem to absolutely despise this man?


Partial victory is still victory, folks. It’s still progress, and if you’re a “progressive”, that’s what you’re supposed to be about, not bitching about everything that isn’t as perfect as the imaginary world in your mind.

Barack Obama is a man of character, and thought, and tremendous political skill, and values genuinely committed to the interests of the ordinary people of this country, and its future. We are unbelievably lucky to have him, because a leader like him hasn’t been seen in this country for a generation.

Give him a goddamned break, and get his back. He deserves no less.
