I don't which "elders" have let you down, or why you think they have, but i suspect that you really really don't want to spend the next four years defending every misstep Obama makes.
To be quite blunt, BT, I count you among those "elders". Over the last 7 years or so, you've always, in my estimation, moderate. Conservative, erstwhile Republican, somewhat open-minded but two or three weeks ago,
something happened and you got your back up and started sniping among the best of them.
This is somewhat uncharted waters for me. For all my posting "lifetime", Bush has been in control. If Obama wins today (knock wood), the left and right's power positions will be reversed and, should that happen and people continue to post and knock Obama, I'll certainly be here and, sincerely, I'll at least try to model my responces to those attacks or questions on what I have seen from people like JS, Missus and yourself over these years excluding the last two weeks.
It really makes no sense to me how you guys on the right are so
anti-Obama. It seems to me that you guys should be no more than indifferent to Obama especially in light of how your "team" has totally screwed you guys over. His policies are not the radical ideas that the right-wing mouthpieces are trying to make them out to be.
