On Massachusetts Senate Race: The Fundraising Letter You Won't See
Replying the lawyergay above since there is no reply button otherwise. How is it that you think that critiquing Obama will improve his performance in office? Is he supposed to go: Oh, yes, I really did want to institute socialism tomorrow, thanks for reminding me? What annoys me is all the "fire timmy", "Obama is a fool", "naive", "fuck Rahm" b.s. that normally passes for criticism. I don't see what that accomplishes - except validate the GOP. Barbara Lee, for example, has strongly criticized Obama on Afghanistan (I agree with her) without having had to use the type of critique one sees in "progressivestan".
As for me, I would have voted for any Democrat over the catastrophically immoral republicans. And Obama has vastly exceeded my expectations in many areas. I'm particularly happy with the DOJ which appears to be enforcing civil rights and environmental laws as well as consumer protection regulations. Obama's far to my right, but I knew that when he defeated Kucinich from the right.

Only 12,000 words! You must be leaving out too much. I suggest that you decrease point-size.

I see. Not enough chase scenes, big explosions and parades in the President Show to keep your attention. U want someone who "looks Presidential" not some black guy who has to get involved in grubby politics allatime.
No wonder Daffy Duck has your vote.

I'd like to hear a cogent explanation of what positive effect is expected from vitriolic personal attacks on the honesty, courage, and intention of the President and cabinet. Really, I'd like to know how all this endless "critique" (to be kind) is going to defeat the right and bring a better world. To me, although I admit to being an ignorant Obamabot, the political effect of the "critique" is to reinforce Republican/MSM narratives about the weakness and so on of the Dems and to alienate people. But I'm sure I'm just too dim to see the point so a "clear-eyed progressive" is just the ticket to enlighten me.
