Obama’s failure to drain the DC swamp

LOL the candidate of the Chicago Mob...

[Buckeye McFrog]

But they also want something more, something harder to define. Justice, maybe, or a reckoning with the powers that be. They’d like to wield that power, and they seem ready to sweep away the social and economic order to get it.

The late Maya Angelou said it best. The oppressed do not actually yearn for freedom. They yearn to feel their bootheel against the throat of the oppressor.

“Obama’s positive message of hope and change and post-partisan politics.”

Post-partisan politics? Obama never advocated that. He said get in your enemy’s face.

[lee martell]

Obama did help bring out the ‘Bernies’ in out culture, yes, this is true. But the fault cannot be laid only with Obama.
How did we get here, where millions of Americans are knowingly and enthusiastically choosing to vote for an avowed Socialist? What best facilitated this phenomena?
One phrase explains it best: Pubic Schools.

Public Schools have spent the last 40 years teaching kids to either hate America or look at our history with disgust and shame. This started decades ago with demonizing as many national holidays as could be done, starting with Columbus Day. This is not to say that all Charter or private schools are better. No. But many are better than the government run schools. This is even more the case since the LGBT fever has infected so many school districts.

I would argue the dynamic making Trump and Sanders goes well beyond Obama back to GHW Bush.

[Migraine]

This column tries to draw some congruity between Trump’s and Sanders’ movements. There is zero congruity. They are poles apart. One is right and one is wrong. One is truth and the other a lie. One is light and one is darkness. One movement respects God, the other reviles Him. One movement disdains the Constitution, the other loves and protects it. Good grief.

[yoe]

Exactly!

Obama voted “present”, as usual...

[Tallguy]

Austin... sure. Bernie can draw 13,000 there. Trump will go there and outdraw him as he has done in other Democrat cities. Let’s see Bernie go to Dallas or Charleston, SC and pull that many. My guess is he wouldn’t even think to go there.

[real saxophonist]

I knew who Donald Trump was LONG before I ever heard of Barack Hussein Obama.

Yep, most of these losers are miserable because they were sold a bill of goods most of their formative years in life: they were coddled and told they were entitled to get whatever they wanted without having to work hard to earn it. The "everyone is a winner who gets a trophy" BS that now pervades so much of society.

When people who are taught to believe this rubbish find out that the real world doesn't work this way at all, naturally most of them will end up angry, bitter, and miserable.

Obama could have endorsed Joe Biden but didn’t! Shows his character!
