Suzana Megles has written the post In Defense of President Obama on OpEdNews.

Criticizing is so easy to do – but understanding the problems which President Obama faces daily requires that we try to support him as best we can. I also try to be as positive as I can. We seem to only zero in on our perceived negatives. What is that song– Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative.

My comment on OpEdNews about her post was:

I have been posting a lot of comments indicating that this web site needs to publish more items like yours.

Call it positive reinforcement or “Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the Negative” (yes I remember the song, I am only a few years behind you), most advice about how to motivate people uses some variation of this.

We do want to motivate the President to do more good, don’t we? We also want to motivate the voters to give him the Congressional majorities he needs to make progress, don’t we?

I can’t imagine we want him to do less good, or strip away what Congressional support he has.
