Remember not to holler over Ferguson like our parental president says. . . 'don't shout'

He is not a liberal. You can think that if it makes it okay in your head that you want to defend him no matter what, but he's simply not a liberal.

The militarization of the police by DHS is a prime and current example.

He put Wall Street in the white house.

He offered up SS in negotiations.

He didn't even allow single-payer a seat at the ACA discussion table.

He had secret meetings with the insurance companies that he wouldn't admit to until he had to because it was being reported.

He never fought for the public option.

His health care reform is based on a Republican plan.

He spies on American citizens. He pushed to legalize what was once illegal, so he is doing worse than Bush on that issue.

He does drone strikes that kill innocent people regularly.

He thinks it's okay to assassinate American citizens without due process.

He called the previous administration's torturers "patriots".

He prosecutes way more whistleblowers than any other president.

He appoints Republicans to his cabinet.

He appoints Monsanto to the EPA.


That is no liberal.

As to the supporting him, an overwhelming majority of liberals don't pay that much attention to what he's doing. A small but loud minority cheering everything he does - even when it's not liberal at all - doesn't change that.

Over and out. I'm not going to keep going over facts with blind followers who refuse to acknowledge them.
