Bernie calls out Barack

228. What do you call the Insurance Company barons? They are working

their heads off to try to prevent Obamacare from becoming real. They will and are losing money. Refunds to their customers when they cannot prove that 90% (?) of premiums go for health care, and not bonuses for their bigwigs. They also hate having to cover pre-existing conditions, adult children to the age of 26 and no cap on coverage, and closing the donut hole for senior citizens is making the pharmaceutical industry nuts. Did I mention that our deficit is the best its been in years?

Why do you expect perfection when he has to deal with the blathering idiocy that Limbaugh and Fox spew on a daily basis; the fortunes that the wealthy will and are spending to maintain Citizen's United; and the billions big oil and big business pay politicians right, left and center to further their interests. There is a BAD reason that our elected representatives leave Congress with millionaire status.

I was and am a Hillary supporter, but I am tired of Obama being torn down by people who should be supporting him. I believe he is struggling to stay afloat in a quicksand-filled quagmire of gigantic proportions. Some support from the people he is trying to help should be given to him and his administration.

We never like everything a President does, but, by damn, he is our President and a Democrat. I have never believed that we shouldn't hold him and our representatives responsible. His youth and lack of experience was one of the reasons I did not support him in the primaries. Wow, was I jumped on for that. Honestly, I wouldn't blame Hill if she just threw in the towel. It is a thankless job, fraught with difficulties and disgust, and we, his supposed base, help the situation not at all.

Stop tearing him down. Give him the respect he deserves and the help he needs. Also, keep telling him in a respectful way how you feel about what he has accomplished and still needs to work on.

That said, if Hill runs, I will proudly vote for her; but, for now, I have a democrat in the White House, and I am very proud of our very first Black President.
