Gibbs, as in Robert Gibbs? You've got to be f'ing kidding me!!! Is this really true??

changeagain2012,  before I converse with you more seriously, I would like you to stick with one alias. It makes it easier to treat a fellow MYDDer with different views with more seriousness.

I will admit that Obama's hiring of Gibbs wsa troubling even back in 2008. I tolerated his hiring during the campaign as a means to an end. But when he retained these kind of people for the administration, it did not please me. Trust me, I was one of the first to turn against Obama early on with many negative diaries despite running as an Obama delegate(just for kicks) during the primaries.

I am not ideologically inclined to either extreme and not blindly loyal to any candidate. But I do find myself defending liberals a lot because I think they get blamed way too easily for things that go wrong.  I am actually not in favor of universal health care though I do no mind government health care for those that can't afford it(expand medicaid to include essential and emergency health care, but not "cadillac" health care for more income groups and the unemployed. ).  Yes, it's sort of a public option, but phrased differently.

My stock portfolio soared under Obama. That's all I care about.

I know of some FL non -ideological voters who have turned against the Democrats. The Florida confusion with Dean a few years ago was hardly on their minds anymore.

And I am sick of people like donkeykong blaming the democrats. Contrary to your opinion, hard left people werent the only ones that stayed home. People in the middle that were inspird by OBama but were not otherwise very political either sgtayed home or voted for the Republicans. So you want to get angry, get angry at them. It's a lazy talking point to say the purists are responsible for this loss. Who caused more hurdles for Obama's legislation that ended up with half assed compromises - purists or the blue dog types?
