Election 2016: Hillary Must Sever All Ties to Obama’s Economic Team

[BlueCaliDem]

157. And President Obama has done an incredible job changing lives for the better

between elections. He just never gets any credit for it. Just more whining.

It's the American electorate that have let HIM down when they gave the majorities in the House then the Senate to do-nothing Republicans instead of standing by him. THEN they expect him to go even more Liberal. Seriously?? The President is robbed of his majorities in the Senate and the House, in effect is shoved with his face against the wall, and then they screech, "MARCH! MAAARCH, damn it!"

Btw? You appear to see FDR as some sort of Liberal icon or something. That's purely revisionism. Documented facts show a completely different picture. FDR was hated and crucified by Liberals in his day for being "too pragmatic" (heard this one a lot about Obama) and being "too close to Wall Street" - ring a bell?

From the DailyKos:http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/08/11/891631/-UPDATED-Liberal-Criticism-of-Franklin-Roosevelt-and-The-New-Deal

The president's defenders often wonder whether Roosevelt faced such withering criticism from those presumably on his side, and the president's critics often criticize President Obama for not being more like FDR, who in their eyes is, understandably, the archetype and the standard to which Democratic presidents and politicians are held.

In my examination of the historical record, it is clear that Roosevelt endured vicious, unrelenting attacks from his left that often exceeded the level of vitriol directed at President Obama, and correspondingly, Roosevelt was not viewed by liberals of his day with the adulation and reverence liberals view him today.

In fact, it's pretty remarkable how closely the attacks Roosevelt experienced from his left echo the attacks that liberals make against Obama today. There was criticism of Roosevelt for being too close to Wall Street, criticism of the New Deal's pragmatism and non-ideological approach, criticism of the New Deal for not going nearly far enough, criticism of the New Deal and Roosevelt as preferring conservatism to liberalism, and so on.

Were FDR president today, he'd be vilified by the Left just as they continuously vilify President Obama. It appears to me that NO ONE is ever going to be perfect enough for those on the Left. NO. ONE. Not even Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.
