(2,479 posts)If you get someone younger, you'll have someone who doesn't even understand the different way, where the poor made more money, where the distribution was better, in a time where we made our own things, and the jobs were unionized, made more, and had benefits.
My problem with getting someone younger is they were raised under this insane Reagan and neo-Democratic ideal, like the Clinton's and now Obama.
I voted for Obama hoping he'd be more liberal than Hillary, then he disappointed in the first half by not fighting harder, and more vocally. I figured he was taking it down a notch to assure reelection. Now he continues to be lame, to try to please those who are going to hate him, are going to refuse him at every turn. At some point, trying to impress those who are going to hate you because of your skin-color no matter what you do, becomes just the actions of an idiot.
So Obama now seems to be getting more conservative if anything, trying to appoint a Billionaire the other day, touting her Chicago Boy's, right-wing-economist type credentials, of Milton Friedman. So now, well I guess Obama is in it for the after-presidency cash. He's got a small window to actually leave some kind of legacy, embrace some FDR Green New Deal solutions, appeal to his base, rather than crap all over us. Or he can go down as that guy who always sucked up to the rich kids, and was abused by them for his actions. His choice.
