71. You are painfully, agonizingly correct
I support Obama on Iran, Cuba, social issues, and a bunch of other stuff.
Those are good. But his support of TPP is awful, just awful. It is awful because TPP is awful, and Obama is a bright person who knows its awful. But he pushes it anyway. Obama is very much a mixed-bag as a President, and not a Progressive on many huge issues. On many issues he seems like an obedient product of The University Of Chicago and Milton Friedman. Privatized Public Schools/"Race-To-The-Top"? Drone killings? NSA spying? "Banks Too Big To Fail (or JAIL)? These are part of what I think of as Obama's "bad" side. All in all, my feelings about him are, "complex". I am not some mindless "Obama-basher", but just someone who is earnestly Progressive on many issues,. especially economic ones. And it is on the key economic and financial issues where I disagree with him most strongly. The "TPP" side of Obama is not the side of him I like or admire. Sorry, but that side of Obama is just way way too Reagan for me. Y' know what I'm talkin' about? ![]() |
