(2,060 posts)the near future and what he does on amnesty. The vote last week even without an autopsy of cause was a direct vote against Obama. The next vote will be the same despite Obama not running again. The Party of Bernie Sanders will be of minor importance if Obama does or signs off on stuff the public does not want; the Party of Bernie Sanders will be of major importance if Obama does not do a deportation pause and uses his veto pen freely--despite the Republicans saying this is what they want him to do! This voting methodology is becoming very banana republico, in my opinion. After the last election I am not sanguine that much really matters. The oligarch fascists have taken the reigns and will not let loose of them easily. On a side note: I was standing in a car wash yesterday listening to a radio station while they were finishing my car. This guy name Michael Medved, a Republican talk show host came on saying that the Republicans are now the Party of the young and energetic--people who want to get things done. The Democrats are the Party of old men who want to stay put...I thought WTF? And now the Blue Dogs are going after Liberals. Where are our spokespeople?
