They are a place for us to calm down and talk.
This is the BOG. This place is ours. Go to GD! Leave us alone here.
A place to laugh and hug each other. It is a place to have some fun and celebrate.

" It's the nature of the "rooms" here that you can say anything nasty about anyone other than the candidate for whom the room is established, and anyone who criticizes you for going over the top is called out for being disloyal, a troll, etc. I don't really agree with this philosophy, but that seems to be the way it is. You have to realize there will be flamers in any group of people, even those who support a pretty mild-mannered candidate. We do need to point out that it's not good to criticize Democrats in certain ways, that we need to keep it civil, etc. but the rooms seem to be insulated against such reminders."
Oh please give me a break. Go read GD some more. Do not talk to me about nasty here!
You seriously said this?

FYI. Read This Before You Post Again.
The mission of the Barack Obama Group is to discuss information and news about the life, career, accomplishments, and presidency of Barack Obama; to provide a haven for those members of Democratic Underground who support the president and his policies; to discuss President Obama's policy positions, speeches, interviews, and other public appearances; to discuss President Obama's political campaigns; and to discuss the causes which President Obama has championed, including health care reform and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Those who have a generally negative view of President Obama and his administration, support his defeat in the 2012 presidential election (in primaries or the general election), or who are generally supportive of those who do, are not welcome in the Barack Obama Group.
