I'd kind of forgotten about this place, maybe because DU was mostly okay during the election year.

Anyway, I'm glad to see the BOG's still here and filled with sane people. . . I'm sick to death of the vitriol in much of the rest of DU.

But I've appreciated reading your recent posts outside of BOG!

Me - I refuse to engage with people who compare President Obama to Hitler and the US to Nazi Germany. Too many have gone there as of late, and they've lost credibility with me. It's like they conveniently forgot how the IndieTeaPublicans bandied about that illustration of President Obama as Hitler in 2009 and 2010.

this site has gotten to the point where it actually needs a separate forum just for supporters of a Democratic president to congregate. Last time I checked, this site was called "Democratic Underground", not Republican Underground or Libertarian Underground. You'd think that everyone would have his back and not succumb to tunnel-vision and blind cynicism about him, but apparently that is not the case.
