He had been a Hillary! supporter who slammed Obama during the primaries. Now, suddenly, Obama is all right and would make a fine president.
The point you make proves what party hacks most leftist voters are or what communists they are at heart. That last part may sound harsh, but at the end of the day, we all have to line up under the banner of liberty or collectivism. That's where we are. And that's the banner they are standing behind with this Stalinist.
The truth may sound harsh, but if it’s the truth there is not much you can do about it is there? And, you are right — they may use terms like “Collectivist” (Obama) or “Communitarian” (Hillary) or their favorite “Socialist”, but it all comes down to the same thing... Communism. So, don’t ever feel bad for speaking the truth! :)
