(84,711 posts)We are gearing up to 2016 and Hillary for President. The "SPIN" is preparing itself.
You have to go to Hartman, RT and the few surviving Left Blogs (and they won't survive much longer) to get the "TRUTH."
Truth Is: Obama was overwhelmingly elected to do what we "heard" he promised. There's no way a Candidate from Hawaii named Barack Hussein Obama would have been elected if the DESPERATE PEOPLE of America (of all Colors, Faiths, Non-Faiths and Gender/Sex) hadn't voted for him. Even the patrician Massachusetts Democrat John Kerry couldn't get elected after Bush II stole and election and took us into two wars and was a fool run by a sociopathic NeoCon Group who'd worked to worm their way into power on stealth paws by the MSMedia's ignoring what they were up to for decades.
Now, we who voted in desperation took a chance on an "Out of the Box" candidate and make him President over a known quantity like "The Clintons."
Yet...this person who defied ALL ODDS from NAME to BIRTH to even his Color of Skin was Elected...and he put "SOCIAL SECURITY CUTS" (Chained CPI) on the TABLE for the Vile Repugs to use as a bargaining point.
There are other "bargaining chips" that this Democratic President has put on the TABLE that would have been Bush II's Wildest Dream.
I have done enough rant. President Obama put it on the table. He is responsible for doing it...or he is a tool of Democratic Advisors who are out of touch with Democratic Principles and THEY should have been weeded out of his Administration when he was re-elected.
That's my view... I'm sorry it's not eloquent and I'm not giving links ..but there are those of us who've been here for a very long time who know what I'm talking about because they were "on the ground" and fighting against the REAGAN/BUSH and all of the Stolen Election, working for Voting Rights to correct 2000 Election and who were heavily envolved, on the ground, in trying to reform our Dem Party and we know about what Howard Dean tried to do and who Dennis Kucinich was and all of the rest of the crap we've lived through.
We aren't giving up and we will expose whatever President...either Dem or Republican tries to SPIN DOCTOR their way out of TELLING THE TRUTH to the PEOPLE.
