22. I love Obama
Tue Nov 10, 2015, 08:32 PM
Nov 2015

But he did a lot of things wrong. I proudly voted for him and have no regrets. He's not as liberal as I'd like but he was the right person at the time. He would be the wrong person now. If he was running against Sanders now - I'd still vote for Sanders. The honeymoon is over, move on.

As for what Bernie said about him - he was right.

Obama was naive. Bernie is certainly not the only person to say as much - many Obama supporters did as well.

As for Obama being primaried and a 'coward' - I'd need context because I never heard Bernie say either one of these things. Obama could have stepped up on several issues but didn't. I trusted he knew the chessboard better than I, but that's no longer relevant because .... It's 2015.

None of these tweets matter anyway because this is not 2007, this is an entirely different time, politically.

Context, people.

I voted for Obama because I liked his vision for change. Sanders has the same vision and is even better positioned than Obama was to get the ball rolling on it.

If you think Hillary is an agent for change, you are being played. She is beholden to people that want things to stay exactly the way they are - or worse.

I don't buy the Clinton charm, I know how that goes.

I swear you all must sit around campfires discussing the message. You all sound the same.

Sanders is the person with a message that can't be sold just check any poll and I don't mean Internet polls where a certain candidates supporters will spend hours skewing the poll for a favorable outcome.

Man are you all going to be smacked in the face when your candidate goes down in flames during the primaries.

Extending the tax cut for the uber rich should have upset most real liberals. Obama's third way Democratic crap has led directly to the TPP.

So when the only job you can get is at McDonalds, you can be glad Obama and Hillary say all the right things. So, be glad you got pandered to instead of having to hear the truth.

One of the thing I have noticed is that Bernie Sanders tends to not take responsibility for the things he has said and done. He did say that one time after a top staffer and others were caught with their hands in the Clinton data files that he took responsibility for that, and then just hours afterwards unleashed Weaver on the media and sued the DNC.
