"Obama is the best president of my lifetime."

[raindaddy]

65. I don't need to read his mind.

Grace and intelligence aside.. Obama really didn't want the public option.. And he really didn't want to stop supporting Bush's hand picked dictator in the tribal state of Afghanistan.. And he didn't want to prosecute the banksters who took down our economy. He didn't want to stand up to the Bush administration's shredding of our civil liberties, nor the abuses big corporations like BP, Monsanto,etc continue to get away with... We at least know what he didn't want.
It's just as easy to sit in front of a computer "and spew" excuses. The high point of Obama's presidency was we elected our first black president who campaigned as a populist.. Unfortunately it's been a downhill ride after that..

There's the original post... The facts. Anyone who wanted the public option negotiates down from the more liberal single payer.. They don't try to deny they campaigned in support of it. We're still in Afghanistan, no Wall Street convictions, he signed the Defense Bill etc..
I don't need to read his mind his actions speak volumes.. Is he better than anything the Republicans have to offer. Yes. But lookng at the line-up it hardly qualifies him as a great President. You might end up becoming a great excuse maker though.
