I was...I hate that guy, and his nasty ilk.
I was confused and I didn't like the choice, but I also thought along these lines: Well, I'm aware that politics takes a lot of maneuvering---there are morons who must be placated in the midst of serious business. I will wait and see what he (Obama) DOES, because this sermon looks like a fish tossed to the seals so that they'll shut up--meanwhile, he (Obama) will be able to attend to important business. (NO INSULT TO SEALS. actually I feel bad for dragging them into this, since I love seals!! Maybe I should have said throw a cookie to the whining bratty children to shut them up for a bit---yeah that's better!)
So, I was not disappointed. Obama's actions have proved what I thought, that he IS a man of fairness and able to change his views when they're proved wrong.
I just disagree with holding on to a slight that happened 3 1/2 years ago --that was actually done for a larger, better purpose--while minimizing or even refusing altogether to appreciate the more important action on progressive legislation.
(on edit, I want to reiterate that when I wrote my post, I was thinking of a specific JERK who pissed me off-- he/she was over the top and truly should be admitting it and making public amends.
He/she refused to have any rational conversation, and so even when offered a calm explanation of a differing viewpoint, he WOULD not behave civilly in return.
He/she really whipped up a wave of nasty hostility around here, and had a big hand, I think, in creating "torches and pitchforks" mob mentality against anyone who didn't get as over the top as s/he and angrily march alongside him/her.)
