Best post?

1. You mean the man from 2008? The arbiter of all things that are hope and change?
The President that will save the Democratic party? The president who says he does not believe in torture but refuses to prosecute war criminals, preferring to call some of the patriotic? The president who has no problem with NSA spying. The President who wants a bill to pass that kills the middle class and gives more money to Wall Street? As far as I can tell, DU wanted Obama, the Democratic Party wanted Obama, The PTB of the Democratic Party (see Pelosi and Kennedy) wanted Obama, so deal with it. We bought the hype and drank the Kool-Aid and nothing changed. So there it is.
This reminds me of the scene where Dorothy finds out there is no Wizard of Oz.
:rotf:
Seems like there may be an Ethiopian in the fuel supply at DU. Anyone missing a mole??

As one of your fellow primitives recently asked, "Where is your god now?"

Whoa baby, this has turned from a little campfire to a blazing conflagration. To the many moles involved in this fight: Hold your positions and maintain fire on the target. :fuelfire:
37. President Obama is a better and more intelligent person than the entire Republican caucus
and most of the Democrats in Washington and pundits in the MSM.
However...he has proved the limits of representative democracy.
Representative democracy will remain but we need to move to a more direct and participatory version of it.
Voting is not the be all and end all of democracy.
Activism is important even when your choice gets into office. He or she can't do everything on their own.

48. You want a Savior.. a Jesus....
... and are surprised that Obama is a politician?
Well, you convinced me....
Obama is no better than "Everyone Loves a War President, Let's Torture" Bush.
Obama is no better than "Never Met a War I Didn't Love, BombBombIran" McCain.
Obama is no better than "I'm a Job Creator (TM) Not a Leech Taker" Romney.
No difference here. Might as well stay home next election. It don't matter no how...

and yes, Perfect is the enemy of Good

58. Not a savior, we want a person who is the same when campaigning as when in office once elected.
Pretty sad when a junior senator is better at walking Obama's talk than he is.

66. The trouble is most of us thought he could take on the MSM and the establishment on his own
and ceded the limelight to the Tea Partiers.
There should have been a *Liberal* version of the Tea Party from day one pushing the President to fulfill his promises, backing him when he did and chiding him when he didn't.
Now we've learned our lesson there will be more direct democracy in the future, in the form of more marches, protests, demonstrations, consumer and media boycotts, online campaigns etc.

64. The familiar, cynical talking point
hoping to get Americans to accept serial lying and predatory behavior from our representatives as acceptable and to be expected.
Normalize the unconscionable and mock expectations for a representative government.
Alert buttons are being pushed but only one post has been hidden <so far> :whistling: John has a long moustache. (but then so did Nadin)

This little twink may have a point:

Lord, if she ever became president that would be the death of this country. That is, if Obama hasn't already ruined it beyond repair

She is no rocket surgeon that's for sure. Her actual bio is as thin as the Oman's, if not thinner. Safe to say she would define 'titular head' if elected, there would be more string pulling than even with Obiewun. Her academic career is nothing to write home about.
{snip}
Initially aspiring to be a teacher, she left GWU after two years to marry her high-school boyfriend, Jim Warren.[12][16][17]
She moved to Houston with her husband, who was a NASA engineer.[16] There she enrolled in the University of Houston, graduating in 1970 with a degree in speech pathology and audiology.[18] For a year, she taught children with disabilities in a public school, based on an "emergency certificate," as she had not taken the education courses required for a regular teaching certificate.[19][20][21]
Warren and her husband moved to New Jersey for his work where, after becoming pregnant, she decided to remain at home to care for their child.[22][23] After her daughter turned two, Warren enrolled at the Rutgers School of Law–Newark.[22] She worked as a summer associate at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. Shortly before her graduation in 1976, Warren became pregnant with her second child, and began to work as a lawyer from home, writing wills and doing real estate closings.[17][22]
After having two children, Amelia and Alexander, she and Jim Warren divorced in 1978.[13][24] In 1980, Warren married Bruce Mann, a Harvard law professor, but retained the surname, Warren . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Warren
No word on whether her transcripts have been scrubbed (yet) but the Cherokee heritage is thinner than hobo soup.
