Howard Dean: 'Obama's Taken the High Road for Eight Years' to Bring the Country Together

by Josh Feldman | 7:16 pm, December 27th, 2016

On MSNBC earlier tonight, Howard Dean said he believes President Obama has been taking the high road throughout his presidency.

Guest anchor Ayman Mohyeldin played a clip of President Obama talking at Pearl Harbor today about resisting the urge to “demonize those who are different.” He asked Dean if that was a dig at Donald Trump.

Dean said it was, but then added this:

“I don’t think it’s personal. I think, you know––Obama’s taken the high road for eight years, and his hope was to bring the country together.”

The transition from Obama to his unqualified, third-rate, birther and taunter Trump, is right up there with the worst of them. The President put his hand out and the Republican Party smashed it with a hammer and pissed on it for eight full years. Their reward: full power, led by a cruel, mediocre, narcissist on steroids who doesn't know what questions to ask about his first ever public service job and cares even less to ask. Not only that, he's regularly protected by our useless media from the most mundane of statements while his training wheels are still being attached. Fuck that. Fuck the whole thing, actually.

That is not to say we go low. But we match fire with fire. We shouldn't "cave" and we need to oppose everything, all the time.

I don't know that the caucus has it in them, but I am praying someone comes along to whip them into line.
