Nope, but you need the many people like me who form the broad center in this country. We elected Obama. If we don't support him in large number, he will lose in 2012. You forget just how many center right, former Republicans that Obama attracted. I'm one of many millions. Hell, Obama was the first President in all my life that I actually donated money to. That's how good of a salesman he was. Where did that guy go? He was so full of fire and conviction. Then he became Prez and he became a weak shill for the financial industry. Might as well have a sign on his back that says, "Bend me over Wall Street. I'm yours." I'm disgusted. Shit. Exactly how is he different than Bush Jr? I feel like it's been 10 years of the same damned thing.

We don't need his/her support. Very true.

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! "We don't believe in the kind of smallness that says it's okay for a stage full of political leaders -- one of whom could end up being the president of the United States -- being silent when an American soldier is booed. We don't believe in that," said Obama to loud cheers and a standing ovation. "We don't believe in standing silent when that happens. We don't believe in them being silent since. You want to be commander in chief? You can start by standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States, even when it's not politically convenient. We don't believe in a small America. We believe in a big America -- a tolerant America, a just America, an equal America -- that values the service of every patriot."
