I call myself an Obama supporter but I have to recognize that tonight’s Deal (even though it wasn’t as bad the GOP spin leaked earlier) is a tough pill to swallow because I would have hoped a tax increase deal as part of any trigger. Yet it’s still encouraging that there are no cuts on Social Security, Medicare beneficiaries, and low-income programs. Still the deal doesn’t look appealing. But that’s another debate.
But tonight I’m more outraged by what it seemed to be a pattern for some people every time they want to vent their frustration at the president. As a bi-racial myself, it’s pretty hard to try to debate or understand someone who called himself or herself “progressive” yet uses racially charged language every time they feel like the President failed them. As if it was no big deal. It seems just too easy for them to make the transition almost natural.
