You love him too much. > Because those people pay absolutely no attention to the facts.

We the people are too fuckin stupid to understand the good he's doing. He even repeated it the other day by saying we don't appreciate Obamacare because he hasn't explained it enough, we're too slow to get it. We do get it, I just wish he would. > Really, the whole thing comes down to that 25% in the middle. And the truth > is - he hasn't hit it out of the park. He has had a tough row to hoe.

Yet you complain Obama hasn't used them enough to his advantage? > I think that 25% is still hoping for him to drop the partisan bullshit, and He still blames Bush for everything. Last week he said if the Republicans win they need to get in the back (of the bus).

And spend less time on issues that divide us.
