Its a fight either way with a obstructionist congress, there is no compromising, may as well aim for the fence. #bernie2016Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840945677741514874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-18349605214596605462016-02-01T14:32:24.323-06:002016-02-01T14:32:24.323-06:00It's something that seems to escape the Sander...It's something that seems to escape the Sanders campaign. The Democratic nominee is going to have to run on the record of President Obama in the general election. All the times that Bernie Sanders has trashed that record in the primary is going to haunt as his own words can be used against him. And no amount of whining and complaining about unfair things are is going to change that.

I point that out because they're arguably the only people more mistreated in this country than blacks, this is a people that give Obama no political advantage, and still Obama is bending over backwards to make things right with them. It's pretty powerful evidence that Obama is motivated by good will to his fellow man.King Beauregardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043228078537079759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-22808056534127949062016-02-01T13:02:00.115-06:002016-02-01T13:02:00.115-06:00If you're disappointed in Http://pleasecutthec...If you're disappointed in Http://pleasecutthecrap.com/obama-accomplishments<br />You're an idiot .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16847717230367094418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-11992488720845213312016-02-01T13:00:54.429-06:002016-02-01T13:00:54.429-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16847717230367094418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-76950110590874067492016-02-01T11:28:43.748-06:002016-02-01T11:28:43.748-06:00Wow.

So I anticipate Bernie's griping about Obama will look pretty ridiculous in a year or two.<br /><br />I recently realized that the stages of grief (Denial / Anger / Bargaining / Depression / Acceptance) also work when you discover your political messiah can't deliver, except that the last stage is better described as "Apathy". That's why I don't see much value in any surge of enthusiasm among Bernie supporters, they're going to return to Apathy as soon as they don't get single payer and free tuition by September 2018.King Beauregardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043228078537079759noreply@blogger.com
