12. Look, I remember how Pres. Obama has been treated here....
Wed Feb 3, 2016, 02:09 AM
Feb 2016

during both of his administrations....
which is why I stop posting here.
The treatment he received dispirited me and made be back away from politics.

Some of these same suspects are now Sanders' greatest supporters.

I know what both they and Sanders think of Pres. Obama....
which is why Sanders has not denounced that new book coming out, which again, talks about
all of the disappointments suffered at the hand of Pres. Obama.

But NOW, there's gonna be a revolution just for Bernie Sanders!
Now, I find that very special!

I think the difference is that Obama didn't say or do everything some of y'all wanted him to....
but Bernie Sanders can promise everything (what's not to like?),
because finally, here's someone saying everything y'all been longing to hear,
although there are no realistic path to actually get it done other than that revolution
...oh, but that's Ok Dokey!
Cause Vive la Revolution!


Before Sanders, there was John Edwards (due to his behind the scene pecadillos), and
Kucinich....
I remember it all very well. Guys with the gift of knowing exactly what to say....

Both unelectable as all get out.....
and who would have lost us an election,
if enough would have followed behind them.
