(19,537 posts)He's also messed up with things like:
1) prosecuting banksters (WORSE than Ronald Reagan's administration which he says he models himself after)
2) not keeping NSA spying under control (maybe he likes this happening?)
3) prosecuting whistleblowers trying to alert us of wrongdoing in our government for "spying" which he's had the worse record of any president in this country in doing.
4) not negotiating hardly at all for the public option, let alone a single player plans which still puts in flaws in to his health care plan that it is too costly with leeches still profiting from our health care system, that someone really wanting to fix the system should have had taken out.
There are a lot of other things too.
His absolute OBSESSION with passing the TPA and TPP, and the process that has been used to create these bills (and the secrecy around them and who's put them together) in my book shows that he's NOT someone working for us. I'm sorry, it's not just one minor thing we are upset about. The more minor things I've mentioned above, though some of them aren't really minor but ar relatively minor in comparison. But this major problem could be even worse if he colors the Democratic Party with such a big stain that we have both a Republican president and a Republican congress in 2016, which will totally destroy this country with the TPA authority he just had congress potentially GIVE TO THE GODDAMNED REPUBLICANS. If some think Republicans are so bad, and that we must have Hillary to beat them, then they should have been as adamant as we are in staying Obama is making a huge mistake in passing this mess. You could even support the TPP (I could see that if perhaps we could review it later and have it be something we could change to make it better if there are problems with it), but the TPA, which is all about institutionalizing UNDEMOCRATIC and UNCONSTITUTIONAL law, simply because Obama probably figures what perhaps now he thinks of as his friends on the Supreme Court won't overturn it when it helps his corporate buddies, is completely unacceptable, and is why so many of us here are people of principle and feel that commands us to DISOWN him as representing us as he is NOT doing so!
