US election 2020: Democrats respond to Obama's warning
BBC ^ | 11/17/19

Posted on 11/17/2019 2:36:25 PM PST by Libloather

**SNIP**

Although none of the Democratic candidates explicitly rebuked Mr Obama's comments, Mr Sanders mounted the strongest defence of his policy platform.

Answering questions on a forum aired by Univision , a Spanish-language TV network, he was asked whether Mr Obama was "right" to say voters didn't want systemic change.

Mr Sanders, who describes himself as a democratic socialist and progressive, laughed and said: "Well, it depends on what you mean by tear down the system."

"The agenda that we have is an agenda supported by the vast majority of working people," he said. "When I talk about raising the minimum wage to a living wage, I'm not tearing down the system. We're fighting for justice."

**SNIP**

"I so admire what President Obama did," Ms Warren said at a campaign event in Iowa, the New York Times reported.

"He is the one who led the way on health care and got health care coverage for tens of millions of Americans when nobody thought that was possible."

Wouldn't Hillary giving out a warning have more pull than someone who wears mom jeans?

Bernie thinks the way to help working people is by opening the border to millions of low wage illegal immigrants.

Good luck selling that one....

If the progressives get a little too insulting to Obama, watch and see if Michelle doesn’t do a few interviews scolding those same democrats for ‘not acting very grateful’ to Barack. “How Dare You!!” You made Mommy very angry.

And I take it, the response was not overwhelmingly positive?

When Barack Hussein Obama says the current crop of candidates is “too radical”, then they may have strayed far from what might be considered to be the political mainstream.

There was already little chance they would wend their ways back, now they GOT to double down and steer directly into the headwinds, damn the personal costs to themselves.

They got a point to prove. Maybe not in their lifetimes, but in their children’s or grandchildren’s lifetimes.

If they even have children or grandchildren. Some parts of the human race are dying out.

I have “How dare you!!” go through my head several times a day. For me, it’s like “OK, Boomer” but I address it to a younger generation who knows nothing about anything but seeks to lecture me about my wokeness.

That’s supported by the vast majority of low wage illegal immigrants.

He’s telling them that we are not North Mexico, yet.

They need a few million more fraudulently documented foreigners.

Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio need more time for that amnesty.

Humorous..the most radical “President” in the history of the country telling the new crop of leftists to not be “so radical”.

Puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?

That slogan remains an Ear-Worm with me too, but for different reasons.

I used to listen to a British band called 10CC. One of 10CC’s albums was called “How Dare You!”. There is also a title track. It sounds very ‘late 60’s Moddish, very European with some Sitar. Three of popular songs are
A. Lazy Ways..B. I’m Mandy, Fly Me....C. Art for Art’s Sake.
They are best known for “I’m not in love”

Yeah, right...LOL

Obama said it’ll save every American family $1200 a year...

Obama said if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor....

BOTH extreme LIES!!!!!!!

After being lied to by that pile of crap, the left follows him anyway why? He’s not advising, he’s just another piccolo player, playing to the rats.

There’s a joke about a piccolo player but I thought it would not play well in genteel company. It’s amusing and I believe fits just not ready for prime time. :)
