It's time to get over Obama.
It's time for Democrats and progressives to look past him. Time to focus on policy, not personality.
We Democrats and progressives have no leverage over him now. Nothing compels him to act on Democratic principles and traditions and issues. Time and again he has shown us our de facto impotence now that we elected him twice and he enters the lame duck limbo.
So it is past time to stop expecting change.
We hoped after Bush. Lordy, we hoped. The reality of our impotence is a bitter pill.
But he just doesn't matter that much any more. Now that we know what we know.
Now we must focus our efforts directly on policy and on those who ARE listening to Democrats and progressives, those who do not betray our principles, those who will crawl across the broken glass to resist Republican creep, those who strategize and maneuver with all their strength and cunning. Those who act in defense of the middle class, the poor, the hungry, the disabled, the marginalized, the homeless, the desperate and those who have lost hope.
We must, still, push back against TPP and NSA excess and chained SS and food stamp cuts and all those matters that threaten every family domestic and global. We must push back against deregulation. We must push back against corruption in politics.
And we must, still, acknowledge progress as it comes.
But we waste our time keening about our POTUS.
The order of the day must be strategy for 2014 and 2016. It must be commitment to the cause of timeless traditional and true Democratic values. It must be POLICY.
Look beyond this day. Look beyond Obama. Let history write his legacy, whatever it may be.
Yes, criticize failure or omissions. Not to "bash", but to instruct, and to lay down the markers for history. To say: This is not worthy of the Democratic heritage. This is not in sync with our values.
Then rise above. Use the Civil Rights movement as a model. Prevail. Overcome. Provide an alternative for America that is populist, fresh, compelling. Eschew the third way, the mushy middle. Stand FOR something.
We can. Yes, we can.

You know what's saddest about the Proglodytes only just figuring this out 3/4 of the way through Obama's administration?
They still figured it out before Obama.

The pie and jam primitive is catching an earful from the 100% Dear Leader cult worshipers. No way they're letting go of their savior.
But the more they defend him with the same old excuses, the weaker they look.
Just look at the way this alert was phrased. Post #42
On a democratic sight, a poster has the balls to say it's time to get over Obama, our elected President. Jury, don't let this go. It is still Democratic Underground and the majority of us are not giving up on our President. Letting WP, and a few others get away with his tirade, gives you this. Please hide. Let's get this site back where it used to be, please, I beg you.
"I beg you" to make them stop. "I beg you." WOW! A total loss of control over their own desires and emotions by the true believers, the BOG, the ProSense groupies, whatever you want to call them.
"Please Skinner, make them stop!!"
So when one group of totalitarians lose control over what they view as their exclusive playground, what happens next?

Right, you stupid scrunt. most of societies problems are because of the GOP becoming Dem lite and the Dems moving to the extreme left.
Let me fix that quote for you.
Now we must focus our efforts directly on policy and on those who ARE listening to Democrats and progressives conservatives, those who do not betray our principles, those who will crawl across the broken glass to resist Republican socialist creep, those who strategize and maneuver with all their strength and cunning and adhere to the Constitution.

Cankles Benghazi, I hardly knew you. Little did I know the extent of my blissfulness.

5. Again with the dismiss President Obama?
Underestimate him at your own peril
....(not to mention overlooking what supporting his policies in the upcoming midterms will mean for 2016)
He will be influential for years to come....
He went to Harvard, remember. He dominated Putin at the G20 summit. He wears the horns of power.

Poor addled grasswipe Judy Smith took her inspiration from the drunken Bill Pitt.
She tried to write a Pitt rant without Pitt's trademark tongue-tied vulgar language.
But while Pitt's vulgar (and who, given his life, wouldn't be), grasswipe Judy is simple-minded, addled.
She's a mumbling old lady who trundles along the suburban Seattle sidewalks, bundled in multiple overcoats despite the weather.
She tugs a little red wagon heaped with treasures she finds discarded in the devil strip on trash days.
So who can be surprised that her judgment told her the DUmp was ready for a post about forgetting their jug-eared Kenyan messiah?

Those aren't the horns of power.

It's a sight, all right.

I have it on good authority of our in-house Primitive expert that grAsswipe didn't write this...and I quote:
My ass, the pie-and-jam primitive wrote that.
Like franksolich wrote Dante's Inferno.

Then rise above. Use the Civil Rights movement as a model.
Except it was the republicans that did that. Progressive fascists and the democrat party were against it.

OH my, what a hottie.
What makes a successful leader ???
From the start of time a leaders first thought was to protect his people. a good military to insure their safety, and home land.
Any outsiders that threatened the home land were driven out and now on to the building of a great Empire, one that others feared to tread on.
We have seen from history what having a foreign leader can and has done to the lands they rule over. First they throw out the old Gods to replace them with theirs, then they change the entire structure of society into what is unnatural to the populace.
These society's fall and are lost to the ages.
Will America be just a foot note in history 100 years from now ?????
JUST meandering in thoughts tonight.

On my other forum one of the conservatives refers to owebuma as the lib's pied piper. But the pipe he says owebuma uses is a gazoo. That's a combination of kazoo, and where it needs to be shoved.
