Is Barack Obama a perfect President? No way. It’s legitimate to doubt his policies, and essential to criticize them when Obama makes a wrong step.
That doesn’t make Barack Obama a political devil, though.
Too many people, on the Left and the Right, are indulging in absolutist visions of what they want to see in the White House, allowing for no deviation from their One True Path. That’s just not how real politics works.
On the whole, Barack Obama is a more progressive choice than Mitt Romney, and so on the whole, that makes him a candidate worth voting for.
No judgment against people who choose another candidate who’s more liberal. That’s fine, too. But, for Americans who are looking for a down to earth leader, Barack Obama seems like a reasonable choice as well. This Obama political button, featuring a down to earth design, is for down to earth progressives who recognize that an election is about limited choices, and voting for the best realistic candidate, not for perfection.
We don’t need to elect a messiah – just a solid executive leader.
