I was under the impression that you had to have a "mind" in order to lose it.

Read this from Glenn Greenwald today.

He's saying exactly what you are getting at.

It doesn't have a thing in the World to do with your Tea Party gripes.

1) He collapsed on the public option....your side liked that. Democrats had 60 votes and could have passed the public option if they wanted to.

2) He stalled on DADT....your side hates gays. That is just ridiculous to say the right hates gays when there is many democrats that also have a problem with say gay marriage.Post like that is trying to do nothing more then inflame things

3) He stalled on pulling troops out of Iraq....your side would have accused him of caving in to terrorists if he did that. OH So its republicans fault that Obama didnt do something. He isnt a grown man and president and capable of making his own choices. That is classic. Your post makes him look terrible. That isnt the signs of a leader

4) He's continued the Bush policy of secrecy, wiretapping without warrant, assasinations of US citizens with no judicial oversight....you warmongers/fake libertarians like that. Wrong there

5) The stimulus was way too small and loaded with tax cuts in order to garner a few votes from your side. He got totally suckered by that.
Once again something written by democrats yet trying to blame on republicans. Typical though how dare someone be able to keep more of their hard earned money.

Or here's a big one I almost forgot.

Obama stacked the deficit commission with GOPers and Conservative Dems who will call for cuts to SS benefits rather than just raising taxes.

This is so when their report comes out...Obama will act all like a "bipartisan" group told him this must be done...LOL

How's that for firing up your base?
