I changed my outlook. I changed my perception because of hope for a better future.
And I changed my view that everything they did was bad because the last prez we had simply did not care one wit about people.
And for those that think DU has changed, I don't think it has. People are still involved, still caring, and still looking out for the poor, our soldiers, etc and so on.
The only thing I can see that has changed is now there are some who will defend actions of the commander in chief because he belongs to the same party as they do - and make excuses where before they would have not.
It is not an us (DU) versus them (freepers/rw sites) where we try to prop up our own elected officials. It is us - the people - versus them, the corporations and people who want to keep us down, steal our tax dollars for their own personal gain, etc and so on.
Obama has my support in general, but that does not mean I or others should make excuses for things which we see as not benefiting the public.
DU? We still call BS on politicians when they do things we see as wrong.
And I for one am glad we have not changed.
Means we still hold the same values now as we did under bush.
To me, that is a good thing.
I'll give Obama 8 years - and while we may not have the change we wanted all at once, I believe we will have it...Especially if we keep doing what we have done the last 8 years. Keeping the feet of our politicians to the fire. Cause Lord knows they won't do it just because it is best for us.
If we don't use our voice, it won't be heard.
