27. And Bernie is too much of a gentleman

To point it out. He doesn't do ads about it. He speaks about who he is and what he wants for our future.

Hillary smears him, misinforms about him and then claims sexist attacks if he defends himself

I wish he were more pointed in his rhetoric but if he was the media would all claim Sanders gone negative. It's a tough place for him.

Even this morning on MSNBC the "reporter" following Clinton told the lie about what Mike said. The "reporter" following Bernie repeated it.

Too many apologists. He did a great job digging us put but he put a bandaid on the issue. JRLeft Feb 2016 #55

A gerrymandered Congress had nothing to do with nyabingi Feb 2016 #52

This is false on its face, I'll ask you the same thing... if Obama had an 80% dem congress like uponit7771 Feb 2016 #70

He obviously would've gotten more nyabingi Feb 2016 #74

Yes, because he said he was a new democrat, he called himself a centrist. JRLeft Feb 2016 #90

You seem to have conveniently ignored the more relevant part of my post Kentonio Feb 2016 #23

1. Obama didn't describe himself as a republican and there's NOTHING along his record so far uponit7771 Feb 2016 #29

Hmm.. Kentonio Feb 2016 #34

"Would be considered" != I am... that's syntax... Lets look at his overall record and not just one uponit7771 Feb 2016 #37

Strange version of reality where someones own words can be written off as 'pretzel logic words' Kentonio Feb 2016 #39

Whats stranger is "I would be considere" by OTHERS (cause your quote leaves out this context) = I am uponit7771 Feb 2016 #69

Why would you think that? Kentonio Feb 2016 #71

Cause after 80% House becomes strongest legislative body, that's why its a trick question uponit7771 Feb 2016 #83

True, although a veto proof house passing legislation against their own President would be bold Kentonio Feb 2016 #96

You don't get it, the president wouldn't have a choice!!! FDR had a congress to push him further uponit7771 Feb 2016 #97

You're missing my point Kentonio Feb 2016 #98

In the case of Obama the bashing is disingenuous when it comes to legislation because the narrative uponit7771 Feb 2016 #99

No, the criticism of Obama isn't that he went right because the house forced him to. Kentonio Feb 2016 #100

It has nothing to do with Congress for goodness sake Kentonio Feb 2016 #103

OK... I thought we were talking about legislation exclusively... right !?!??! uponit7771 Feb 2016 #104

We never said anything about criticizing everything he did.. Kentonio Feb 2016 #105

Neither did I, I'm talking about the 10% of his actions that you named in your reply... uponit7771 Feb 2016 #106

Where did 90% come from? Kentonio Feb 2016 #109

The same could be said about FDR no? uponit7771 Feb 2016 #110
