Really? You're actually worried that DU could turn into nothing but a fan site for
Obama cheerleading? In that case, might I suggest opening your eyes? The facts support no such trend here. It's simple: There are substantially more threads criticizing Obama and/or his policy decisions, than cheering them on. Nothing wrong with that at all. There is something wrong with claiming that the opposite is true. Facts may be inconvenient, but some folks are certainly adept at side stepping them.

1. As long as I get to wear a cheerleading outfit (FINALLY!), I'm cool.

3. What I don't get is why
some feel threatened by a positive thread or a picture thread. Does it have to be doom and gloom all the time? I can think critically about issues and still enjoy reading or looking at something positive.

5. DU is largely a circular amplification system used to rant
positive or negative things about the administration and government.

"approved" content just because the poster may be supportive of Obama. I'm a fan, so sue me! :)

10. yep... awful, isn't it?
Some of us actually want to support a Democratic President on a Democratic website.
What are we thinking?!



What really tires me out is the "Teenbeat" thinking of those that start the "I'm so disappointed in Obama" posts.
They sound like little whining children... or some RWer trying to spread shit.

Du has a wide variety of people and a wide variety of opinions. There are some damn smart and well informed people here, and a few dumasses.
