Saying mean things about Obama has offended his fans and they want an apology. To themselves.
Hey, when various liberal interest groups approached Obama and he cleverly emulated FDR and cupped his ear and said "I can't hear you" - maybe that didn't mean what we thought it meant, is all.
Oh, and Rahm's apology? That was sincere? Bwahahahaha!
And then there is this:
the corporate Democrats pushing this garbage have never, ever been a grass roots, naturally occurring part of the Party. They are a deliberate, Koch-bankrolled infiltration with a goal of hijacking the Democratic Party to serve corporate interests rather than the interests of voters.
Can't cheer for it, no matter who "represents" the dems.
One good thing - I notice Bernie's name gets mentioned a lot now, presumably because his voting for the ACA will make people who support him change their minds, or somehow equate Obama and other corporate dems with Bernie, or somehow create the pretense that Bernie is just like, say, Hillary. Won't work, but a mention is a mention! Make a good drinking game!
