In reply to the discussion: Conservatives counter claims that Mitt Romney was a bully: Obama was even worse! [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)29. We will know that Obama has really "grown" when he stands up for liberals
and calls Republicans "idiots."
Then we will know that he no longer is the coward he was in that story.
Remember the public option. Obama said he wanted it the Friday before he agreed to a bill without it. Just as he turned on Coretta and blamed her for those who were bullying him, he turned on supporters of a public option and left us empty-handed. If he had really learned his lesson, he would have stood up for what he knew was right and the country would be better for it.
Obama still has time to learn this important lesson. You don't have to fight back. You just have to stand tall and stubborn.

Let's just face the elephant in the room. Mitt Romney should have been tried as an adult and served

I should have put in the sarcasm emoticon. It was an attempt at being over-the-top.
