But it's nice to see how dedicated some people still are to trashing
Obama, and he's not even running for anything anymore.
Absolutely. And it's hilarious to see so many of this same crew now running around acting as though they've always supported this man when they've done nothing of the damn sort and everyone knows it.
Actually trying to pretend that someone saying "my POLICIES are so mainstream that IN THE 1908s they would have been CONSIDERED (by others to be) moderate Republican" is the same thing as someone saying "now, in the 21st century, I am a Moderate Republican."
And keep your eyes open. A week from now if not sooner, somebody else will post this exact same video and claim that it's Obama saying he's a moderate Republican. No matter how many times this lie has been debunked, rebunked and debunked again, a determined few just keep pulling it out of the trash apparently oblivious that trying to keep it going says far more about them than their target.
