(12,882 posts)And go back and watch some of Obama's '07 serenades. Tell me just how strictly his promises matched his deeds. COULDN'T find ANY reasons to prosecute on Wall St.??? Couldn't seem to find comfortable enough shoes to use in Wisconsin??? Seems to have had SERIOUS amnesia about the merits of single-payer health care. His efforts to bring those promises to reality were pitifully half-farted. OH! and we're STILL in Iraq and Afghanistan!
I say it was a contest of liars - one liar out-lying the other. John Edwards paid more homage to the impoverished than the other two combined. Of course, he was a liar too. Hillary will carry on in the Obama tradition with maybe a TADD less overturisms to try and woo the corporational party. Of course, not ever having met a bank she doesn't like, I guarantee she'll have the flexibility of a sheet of rubber.
Hillary in the White House - we KNOW who's going to be the unacknowledged VP and chief of staff. The TPP will only have to get close to the Oval Office to wear her signature - after which, any other "good deeds" will be basically useless.
Elizabeth and Sanders are the only two true breaths of fresh air as far as possible White House contenders.
