And now after electing him again, we are divided because of his policies and the appointment of Wall Street to run things, not to mention a survalence state that is more intrusive than at any time in history...not to mention that that single payer was never considered at all but the ACA was a gift to the insurance company...
But we forgave all of that and elected him again, and the election was barely over before he through Social Security under the buss and purposed chained CPI
And now the division is over whether we should criticize him or not...and one side argues that we should not, and claimed that if we do we will ruin the party, or we must not have loved him at all....and the bad cop is just waiting to get us.
The other side says bullshit...and that we have had enough of this third way crap that has did nothing but move the party to the right and reconditioned the Bush administrations crimes.
Well I am of the latter...and I predict that by the end of Obama's presidency Bush will be rehabilitated and even the third way democrats will tell us he was not so bad....and that process is underway now...and the Dems will become the Repubs and the Repubs will become the Bad cop party to keep us to the right.
I think it is fucking sad that we allow it to happen...but here it is.
