I could not agree more. In my ten years or so on DU, I cannot recall so many negative posts about a Democratic president we are fortunate enough to have in office and who needs and deserves the support and encouragement of Dems, especially DUers. Blessings to those who started the BOG (you know who you are) and gave us the opportunity to share our regard and support for President Obama. Plus enjoy all those great photos of him in action!

Cheers.

Being negative about President Obama is also contagious, however.
So, people have a choice, they can either believe in hope or change or they can whine and snivel.
The BOG is a snivel-free zone!

They have GD for that.
GD has always been a shit magnet for whiners.
Always has been, always will be.

wouldn't be necessary on a site for Democrats, but alas it is. We're not safe from anti-Obama/anti-Democrat hyperbole even on DU. At least there's the "ignore" button, though.
