If he's not a failure, then it seems like he's being called everything but a child of God.

Just who should be appointed? To me, it's like anyone who ever worked for the Clinton Administration has the Clinton Cooties and will infect Obama if he touches them--even if they endorsed him in the primaries either early on, or solely. He wanted people who could carry out HIS policies with folks who already knew how to find the bathroom on his or her own.

Why do I read this blog? Because I happen to find a sense of community here, that's why. What does "just let him do everything" mean, anyway? Just because I see no reason to burn him at the stake? It hasn't even been a month since he was elected, and the freak-out over what he has or has not done is on and in full effect. Maybe it feels too much like campaign mode, and I want to forget what that feels like for a bit. I'm starting to resent the feeling that because I'm not more exercised over his picks, I must have shit for brains.

Don't worry. I'm not so pathetic that I don't have real live places to go for that sense of community if I'm deemed too stupid or lazy or what-the-fuck-ever here.

Can't hear ya, Peach!

Well your sense of community involves flaming political opponants.  You have been flaming people for atleast 6 years on DU and the blogs as long as I have seen your initials.  

You have also been fighting with strawman.

Nobody has talked of burning him the stake, and yes you do have shit for brains.

I've not flamed you nor do I flame political opponents. That's the biggest steaming pile ever.

And I'm sorry, but I've NEVER posted on DU, so I don't know what the hell you're talking about. You're confusing me with someone else.

Which would be the problem here. So the next time you want to accuse me of having shit for brains, kindly have your collective shit together first before you dare try to attack me. You're not good at it.

Can't hear ya, Peach!

Again, if you think someone has shit for brains, why write to that person?

Think.

Thought never entered the equation. SR didn't even take the time to know who he/she/it was responding to, much less take time to consider anything I wrote. This person isn't serious. While this person is making wild accusations, he/she/it gets basic facts wrong.

Starting with the most basic of them all: I am a woman. And more than a couple of people who blog here regularly know that.


Can't hear ya, Peach!
