re: #156 simoom

The thing is, Obama hasn’t been silent, and some on the left clearly aren’t happy with what he’s been saying (the contents of that tweet for example). But he’s obviously right that american tribal politics being what they are would mean a whole lot more noise if the opposition was in power.

Yeah, as nutty as MJ is, he’s not really wrong on that tweet. If Mitt had won we’d be seeing a lot of progressive stuff about the aggression in Gaza is because Mitt is Israel’s servant, etc. Although a lot of progressive sites aren’t happy but the reaction is subdued because Obama is still president. So it goes.
