I'm more convinced than ever that there is a vast right wing conspiracy to
stir up the left. I believe there are many lefties, true believers who are unknowingly being stirred up, agitated and otherwise prompted to go after Obama. There are many, many who truly are dissapointed, but they are being egged on by the right. They want you to give up. They want you to sit the next election out. Divide and conquer. Don't expect things to change overnight. Ask yourself, what would you do, what could you do if your were Obama. You have a whole, vast country to govern. A country not just comprised of your "base". You have a corrupt and compromised Congress. You have a shadow government, the TPTB, what are watching every move with laser=like focus. What would you do? How would you do it? Don't be so naive.

Sorry Dream Girl no conspiracy needed the only person happy with Obama is Jimmy Carter because bit by bit Obama is taking away Carter's title of worst president ever.

1. Agreed.
The Right is telling the Left that our President is not living up to his campaign promises. This is pure propaganda meant to divide his base. We must not fall into their trap and must support our President, flaws included.
Don't let things like the truth get in the way of a good CT.

4. No, I'm afraid it isn't just pure propaganda.
Many more learned and thorough DUers than me have evidenced many instances where President Obama isn't living up to his campaign promises. You shouldn't give a leader unquestioning accolades for doing what he said he would, but damnit you need to hold their feet to the fire about the things they lie to you about. Or the lies start to outweigh the progress after a certain point. We don't need a President who simply won't "**** things up worse" we need a new direstion and we need to break the back of the status quo or it will destroy this country.
DU has some more learned members?

10. The President has only been in office one year
We must be patient. Criticizing his Presidency so early will only discourage him and his administration. He is living up to his campaign promises. We are leaving Iraq, escalating Af/Pak, getting real HCR and many other things I cannot recall. He is doing such a good job and people are just poking and prodding him with small insignificant details.
Right, just hang in there DUmmies Lord O is trying to bring you socialism as fast as he can.

44. Yep. The right wins when there is low turnout. Have you forgotten the eight
year nightmare already? With a low turnout, they will be able to steal then next election so fast and who they get in there will make the last eight years look like a picnic. It really is about the lesser or two evils, you know. Sad but true.
I recall the 8 year nightmare then Bush took office in 2001.

6. Conspiracy is the only chance the right has of wining elections
They have nothing when it comes to policy.
You might be able to say the Republicans have nothing when it comes to policies but conservatives have plenty, you just don't like them.

14. Don't presume everything is a conspiracy. If I sit the next election out,
it ain't gonna be because some right-wing asshole whispered for me to in my ear. It'll be because none of the options are acceptable to me. I sure as shit won't vote for Obama again.
And you won't be posting at DU anymore either.

23. I'm not going to sit out, but I am going to make Obama work for my vote
If you know what I mean.
Can't say I blame you after all the dems are good at buying votes.

24. It's more like a corporate, right-wing media that's ...
... trying to make him look bad, and leftists who are lacking other sources of information. Not everything bad is the result of a conspiracy.
The media except for faux have all been kissing his ass since day one.
Even with all the ass kissing and spin Obama still looks bad.
You goons got what you wanted in jan of 2009 and all you do is bitch and moan. You have all 3 houses and most of the media what else do you need?
