Do I feel betrayed by this President? Yes.

[stupidicus]

160. I was a lefty bigot with low expectations for the centrist

although I did harbor some hope that he'd prove me wrong and be a bit more transformative in the right ways than he's been.

As much disappointment as I feel over the stuff you covered here, it's his relative silence, lack of substantial leadership, and inaction on climate change/AGW that irks me the most, given the additional human misery and worse that is in store for us all worldwide, and as a citizen of the planet.

And of course much like with some of the other things, his "he's done no wrong" supporters can invoke the "what's politically possible" stuff, to which I'd respond with "Tis far, far better...", which is the most we can ask of him. As I've suggested to some members of that "crowd", it's not really a question as to whether he's done any good or not, but at what point and over what can or does the scale get tipped into the net negative territory, and the SS thing could reasonably provide that tipping point because of the betrayal element you've expressed here. That the negative side has been loaded up with this and that over these last few years, making the feeling you've expressed here likely outta many, was why I told them they really should be holding their stupid tongues with the "basher/ODS-sufferer/obama-hater/etc" crap as it pertained to the SS thing, because it likely would serve as a catalyst for the outrage many now feel, leaving them in a scorned minority.

Unsurprisingly many/most of them didn't listen -- you stinking basher...lol
