We the People need to stand up for Obama. We don't have to agree with everything he's done (I'm looking at you, Extension of Bush Tax Cuts), but we do have to support our President and we have to be vocal about it. We have to support President Obama as loud or louder than the craziest Tea Partier opposes him. He can't do this alone!

"Standing up for him" = More of the same "bipartisa
nship", caving, selling out, Republican
-like legislatio
n.
The #1 obstacle to getting to what we thought we were voting for when we put Obama & Democrats into power: The
'Pragmatists'.
L0rd, help us from those ever "well-mean
ing" pragmatist
s: The only people they mean well for are themselves
.
We hear about "pragmatis
m" a lot from Obama's 'most ardent supporters
'. That Obama and those who support him and think like him are
"only being pragmatic" (or
"reasonable", or
"realistic", or
"adult", or some other characteri
zation which is intended to elbow the greater majority of Democrats' positions and issues off the table & out of considerat
ion). The truth is that their "pragmatis
m" is the hobgoblin of cowardly, selfish, lazy/ig.no
.rant minds.
'Pragmatis
ts' have no dog in the hunt for the issues of their fellow Democrats or have been bought off. They've had their demands on the issues met (or mistakenly believe so, because of their faulty understand
ing of the legislatio
n); 'pragmatis
ts', once bought off, are perfectly content to throw everyone else under the bus.
'Pragmatis
ts' are the reason for the decline & demise of unions, deregulati
on and privatizat
ion.
Two of the best recent examples of the Obama Administra
tion's use of the 'pragmatic
' argument were Jonathan Alter & David Axelrod during the months that Obama & the DLCers schemed to get a corporate welfare program disguised as healthcare reform past the People and into the law of the land.
