What a joke. I took my blows as a non-Koolaid drinker though a staunch progressive and eventual supporter of the President. Now you decry your saviour and cannot believe he would betray everything he stood for in order to get elected. Let primary residence homeowners reorganize their mortgages in bankruptcy court? On the campaign trail, YES! As president, dead silence. Get rid of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, an insidious form of denigration and discrimination that destroys lives? No. He files briefs in favor of Defense of Marriage. He supports preventive detention. He is a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs (we should all be so lucky). His opening bid in the stimulus negotiations was to give away one-third to tax cuts. He doesn't even mention single-payer from the get go. I don't even want his health reform anymore. I just don't want him to ruin what little I've got.
Why make secret deals with Big Pharma? Why destroy the negotiating power of the U.S. taxpayer? Why take so long to meet with Congressional Progressives? Why turn your back on everyone who supported and fought for you?
I wrote about him back in February 2008 and the community tripled trolled my ass.
No one gets 3/4 of a billion dollars in their campaign coffers without incurring some debts. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
