62. We're "hungry for leadership", Obama. That's why you aren't even a consideration

for the nomination by most of us.

Your generic rhetoric of 'new ideas' and 'new politics' and 'working together' and my personal favorite - 'hungry for leadership' - started out bland and has worn thin from there. Plus, to me anyway, as with seemingly the op and others on this thread, some of it is kind of insulting.

First off, you don't seem like much of a leader to me. At all. But you're young, so fine. Just stop posing.

And don't you think that just maybe, we've tried to 'work together'? We've been trying to work with these pricks for twenty years, and they keep getting nastier and more dishonest all the time. We are now so far past trying to compromise with these unreasonable, lying, cheating, election-stealing traitors, that we've finally come to the terminal realization that these people are virulently against everything decent people hold dear, and they always will be.

So your whole kumbayah attitude is pretty insulting, like you don't even understand where we are politically. Your politics appear to be what's stuck in 1994, making your 'Hillary is the politics of the past' and you're 'the politics of the future' talk ring like a bad memory.

Your politics actually strike me as generationally inexperienced, glib and self-impressed, whether we're talking about leadership, new politics, new ideas or working together.
