(14,255 posts)As a matter of fact, Obama is now a lame duck. I could care less about him, as a person. We got him elected, because he is a Democrat, and electing a Republican is a noxious thought indeed.
Obama's POLICIES will affect all of us long after he has gone to whatever nice job he has waiting for him.
Sometimes the dogged insistence on veneration makes me worried that his fans are angling for a third term.
We need to focus on Democrats, not just one guy. Warren and Sanders still have a political and legislative life ahead of them. Obama does not. This is not Obama Underground, it is Democratic Underground. If future candidates have to run with or against Obama's policies, that affects everyone, as it affects the makeup of Congress. And I am sick and tired of the Third Way Faux-Democratic shit.
