Barack Obama
Related: About this forumJust wanted to stop in and say hi to sheshe2 and ask everyone to give her a hug.
Please.
I hope you get to feeling better soon, love ya she. We will get through this together and Obama will do the right thing, I've developed a huge amount of respect for him over these 6 years. He is an extremely powerful statesmen now and I already feel the sting of losing him in 2 years.
Also, sorry to all here for being such an asshole toward the BOG. You folks have put up with more shit than any other presidential supporters ever in history.
I was wrong and I apologize to one and all in this group.

(65,616 posts)I am glad we can be friends and not enemies. You and everyone else here has the perfect right to snark on me, thank you for your kind words instead.
It took me awhile, but reading sheshe2s posts in GD really made me think hard on how I looked at the POTUS. And I realized I was completely wrong about him and made preconceived notions based on what I saw during the BP oil spill.
I should have remembered the huge mess he stepped into in 2008 and also realized he was new to office. I just naturally let my white privilege assume he would have it easy (like the white POTUSes before him). I could not believe the racism thrown his way by supposed adult politicians.
I won't do that again and as far as I am concerned, he is the ONLY POTUS forced to run the country with a rogue Congress and SCOTUS, in our history.

Thank you for for your words, Rex. You are a good man.
Welcome to the BOG~

(65,616 posts)The truth is the truth, the man deserves a million times more respect than he gets. It's hard to ignore thread after thread by you and others that was proof positive. Thanks for helping me change my mind over the years.
Thanks for the welcome! I hope today finds you feeling better than last night.

Thank you, Rex, and hugs from me as well! The REALLY good good guys recognize mistakes and apologize for it. Very classy, and greatly appreciated. I think Barack Obama will be a towering figure in American history, once the objective viewers step back and assess his presidency in the future. History will be very kind to him. He will be a shining star in the American heavens, and his name and his face will start appearing on everything from stamps and coins to high schools, bridges, government buildings, and more. It won't be possible to keep count of how many statues will be created to celebrate him from coast-to-coast (and probably a few overseas, as well). And NOBODY will remember the names of ANY of the pissants who tried to make his life miserable and his presidency failed and artificially truncated. They'll all wind up in history's Dustbin of the Forgotten, where they belong.
The Dustbin of the Damned is more like it.

(68,644 posts)so glad for the BOG, I was a moderator through all of DU2 starting just before and lasting into DU3.
The BOG for some time enjoyed freedom but then became overmoderated to the extent that you could only post nice nice news and no complaining and people were alerting on posts 24/7 and successfully locking threads.
And people left, for good, and went to other sites.
Who remembers Jackeens? Love her, she left and went to create one of our favorite Obama sites!
I remember sending her some CDs with Obama pics and vids and she mailed me the nicest card.
Anyway, the BOG is a special place and so much more fun now at DU3 and people like sheshe2 make it so very special.
Yeah I let the previous hosts actions of the BOG cloud my judgement, toward sheshe2 and others here and for that I am very sorry. Of course that doesn't include you! I've known you are a good egg since the first days I started posting on DU1!
Thank you and love you!
Here...a laugh for you.
A huge post damned a group they were banned from... 432 replies. Immediately people jumped on and hammered BOG HoF and AA. Holy Shite! Mega amount of posts slamming these groups. Guess which group they were banned from. Climate Change or whatever they group is called.
It was not BOG it was not HoF and not AA. We got slammed by DU. They had no knowledge it was us. Slammed us anyway.
So here, have a laugh....my BOG response~
For the Groups. You know who you are~ *****BOG POST*****
So, I say~
Give me a break. I am serious~
You have all of GD to voice your concerns. No need to come to our safe haven.
You come to our house to dump in it? Really?
The Rest~ http://www.democraticunderground.com/110224070

(37,468 posts)I was looking for a comment by a certain poster to prove a point. Damned if I can find it. Pisses me off that I can't. I am getting trashed for my comment, yet it is true and they did indeed say it. Sadly I can't prove it. They love to alert on me, even in safe groups. I saw some old posts of yours.That hurt.
No matter now. Change is beautiful. If I changed one mind, then I can damn well change more.
Your Op~ Thank you.
Rex
(65,616 posts)What thread? In GD? I floated around DU1 and DU2 feeling perfect at times and that is a dam foolish way to be.
You had the bigger heart then I did. You said let's stop fighting and be friends...this is stupid. I agree, it is pointless. Besides we both know or agree that Obama is the best dam thing to happen to this country. At 43, in my lifetime...your mileage may vary but I bet in yours too.
If this is about fights in GD, pointless. You might as well be yelling at the computer monitor in front of you and it will probably do you more good. I am about flat done with GD fight club. It has become one of the most pointless things on DU ever. I think the META forum had more value.
Sorry you are getting hammered, I can guess it is over Obama. Two people that get hated on the most here - one is black and the other is female. Of course most people think I am insane since I still think HRC and Obama are moderates. Like that is some extinct species in the bicameral system.

Hey. We are Democrats1!!!!! We rock!
Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)So, enjoy it while you can.
Because in just 19 short months, or in some cases 18 months for those who vote early, we get to vote again . . . and we will have a whole new Congress and President-elect to deal with at that time.
I don't know what the impetus of this thread is; don't tell me, I don't want to know.
However, I think you should know as President of the sheshe2 fan club, I give sheshe2 a hug everyday.
Or, as many times as I can get away with!!
I don't know why you said you were wrong, or why you apologized, so I don't know what you are talking about.
But, that's okay.
Because you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.
I like the BOG, but mostly I like the girls of the BOG.
That's just the way I am.
This post has been edited as not to offend anyone.
And also so it won't be hidden because the alerters have went after me before in the BOG for no reasonable reason under the sun, that I can think of anyway.
Having said that, I won't be digging a deeper hole tonight.
