In reply to the discussion: Today's news from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) Obama ‘Not a Fighter’ [View all]Andy823
(11,550 posts)So let's see we are in what the 6th month of his second term, and so far we have scandal after scandal that the right has thrown out there to basically once again prevent him from getting anything done, take the heat off of them for doing "NOTHING" in the first term and pretty much the same in the first 6 months of this term, and so what, he is a failure now? I hear that from many here, do you feel the same way?
As for "gaining" up on others, you might want to take another look at this thread and see jus how many of the "anti Obama" gang are "ganging" up to help those who can't answer a simply question. As for BS, I totally agree, it should not reign supreme around here, but it does. Like the comments that president Obama is just like Bush or Nixon, that he is a total failure and has accomplished nothing, or that that everything that goes wrong these days is all his fault. And how about those who call themselves democrats that use right wing talking points, or who call the president "Obummer" or other names the right uses and my new favorite BS line "if you don't believe the likes of Snowden and Greenwald you can't be a 'true' democrat"! I myself call all of that BS, what about you? And most of all I hate it when someone tells others they should just stay home and not vote in 2014 because "their is no difference in the two parties"! To those people I say ask those in states like Wisconsin, Maine Florida, and the other states that are now run by republicans because a lot of people did stay home in 2010 and look just how great that all worked out!
Now I will agree, I wanted more, like single payer health care, getting rid of tax cuts and subsidies for oil companies and big corporations, etc., but he isn't done yet so I am willing to support him and see what happens. I do disagree with things he has done, but I also know for a fact he has done a hell of a lot and when people seem to ignore what he "has" done and only dwell on the negative, it kind of makes me wonder just what side they are really on.
Just my two cents here.
