Sanders: Obama lost touch with grass-roots movement

[BlueCaliDem]

83. Senator Sanders is wise in his philosophies and theories, but it wouldn't wash in the "real" world

of American politics were he to become president.

What some on the Left and Liberal Libertarians fail to understand is - and what Senator Sanders is failing to remind them of - the president is NOT a dictator. He's not a king. He's just one branch of our three co-equal branches of gov't, and the president -whether we like it or not - must work within that framework if he wants to get anything done.

Without the backing of Congressional Democrats, all a President Sander's hopes for a liberal country will die a swift death. He'll become a lame-duck president for four years before the Neo-Confederate Party crushes him in his bid for re-election. Most Americans will abandon him, too, because all they'll see is failure when, in all reality, he isn't the one failing this country, just as President Obama hasn't failed this country.

As President Obama had seen early on when Democrats joined with Republicans to deny him the funds and power to close Gitmo (Senate voted 90-6 against), Senator Sanders would be derailed by both Democrats and the Neo-Confederate Party in Congress if he doesn't "conform". Knowing that Bernie Sanders would refuse to conform, we'd be looking at a lame-duck president for four years.

If you think President Obama is a failure with regard to liberal policies, should Senator Sanders be elected president, you're going to see mega-failure the likes we've never seen in all of American history. Guaranteed.
