Do I feel betrayed by this President? Yes.

99. Biden aint always right either

I understand the point, but disagree on some key details.

Being "trained" to do a job like being a senator, or president, is not necessarily a good thing. Seasoning, growing in ability, that is. But being trained to the position, which is what seems to happen to most senators, is not. Because what happens is they get bent into the mold of the mistakes and problems that have preceded their tenure in office.

There are very few "experienced" politicians I would trust with the presidency, and none of them were running, as far as I recall. If anything most of the available alternates would have accomplished much the same results as Obama, just drawing more Democrats down into the crap of getting it done. The danger, if anything, would have been that they would have sold us out more successfully. Quietly and with less fanfare, but more effectively. That's not a good thing. In my opinion.

What we need is a person who comes to this with a different viewpoint, not a different method of accomplishing the same viewpoints goals.
