As A Lifelong Democrat... Are You Satisfied With The "Hope And Change" That Was Promised In 2008 ???

79. I haven't seen a Democratic president who was far enough left for me

but Obama seems to be as good as any other Democratic president there's been lately, and is as liberal as most people in the Democratic Party. I'd love to see a left wing liberal as president, but I don't see that happening.

I'm getting tired of the relentless Obama bashing. I don't understand the dichotomy presented of "perfect" or "horrible." He's done a lot of good. I don't like drones or the TPP, and yes I wish he held different positions on those things, but I can still recognize the good he's done, though it's been difficult for him to do anything at all with the obstruction he's faced.

My husband and I each developed huge pre-existing conditions recently - his last year, and mine already this year. But we don't have to worry about losing our insurance. The ACA is really huge in a number of ways, and I'm particularly tired of hearing bashing of that. Would I prefer single payer? Yes of course. But that isn't going to happen right now, and this is a good step toward it. A few years ago I thought a national health system would never happen, but now I feel like it's on its way.

I will vote for Warren if she's in the primaries though. And I will give her campaign money.
