Web Letters: Obama Obsessed Fans Go Into Withdrawal

I have never visited the Nation website before, and the first video that I click on gives a pathetic attempt at humor that I personally find very offensive. I worked my ass off for the Obama campaign with a driven passion that I was doing something thoughtful and mature; and the people that I had associated with for the most part reflected that same mindset. Your pathetic video that you have put on the front page of your video section however, portrays us as shallow and fanactically emotional, just getting into the same ol' hype that has been an imprint of right-wing political agendas for years.

We are not the same and shame on you for profiling any of us that way even in a humorous fashion. Oh, I know you're saying, "Lighten up, will you? It was just a joke!"--however, we have to be very careful that we won't portray in any way, any of us as being anything but mature and dead serious about the circumstances presently at hand. We will probably go into a depression and there will be a lot of pain and suffering in order to pull us out. We are not fans of the president-elect but definitive supporters and don't Hollywood any of the circumstances.
