I Feel Like I Was Punched In The Gut By Obama.

I feel so let down, lied to, laughed at, and marginalized after all the high hopes I had for a better future when Obama was elected president in 2008. One thing's for sure, Obama has the gift of gab.

All the whopping and hollering we did was for naught.

In other words, he lied and is lying to us straight to our faces without blinking his eyes and almost imploring us to believe him when he tells us the TPP is good for us.

WTF happened? How could we be fooled so easily? The signs were all there from the beginning when he hired Geithner, Holder, Rahm, and asked Gates to remain as SoD. And then he packed his administration with lobbyist he vowed not to hire.

You get the gist of my rant because there's so much more.

Eleventh dimensional chess my ass.
 

The real funny thing is that they will still run to vote for Hillary.

1. No, you need a different perspective.

When you think of politics as damage control, rather than as a positive, you see that Mr Obama was better than the alternatives on offer, as are the Dems now.

Little exchange from a book to cheer you up:

"You always trust beyond reason."
"Of course. That's how I get results beyond expectation."

2. Are you better off now than you would've been under McCain/Palin & Romney/Ryan admin?

It's really very simple when you break it down.

Sure, he is not Robin Hood, or whomever you expected, but I dare say he's better than the alternative.

Note: Keep this in mind when voting in 2016. Is the Dem on the ticket better than the Repub on the ticket? Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

7. Such a low standard we have 'he's better than the other guy'. Well, we don't need to do that this time, thankfully. We HAVE a candidate who has a long record to show that he is the real deal.

So no, we won't forget in 2016 in the GE nor before that in the Primary. Is the Dem who actually represents the people and is funded by the people, better than the Dem who is funded by Wall St?

That's an easy one now for all of us who went with the 'he was better than the known bad guy' routine for so long.

We have a chance now to change all that. if we don't take it, we are to blame for the continued deterioration of the country.

I'm going to take it, how about you?

13. I'd pose the question differently:

Had McCain or Romney been elected, how much worse would things be? The difference is one of emphasis. There were those who turned no somersaults when Mr Obama won, but simply heaved a sigh of relief that the worse alternative didn't happen.

3. We were had, and royally by both Clinton and especially Obama. And I was one of the suckers. Both consistently worked on behalf of the plutocracy to the detriment of ordinary people. Saying "well the Repukes would have been even worse" is cold comfort. The difference between being up to your armpits and your chin in a swine manure lagoon is a distinction with precious little difference.

Won't get fooled again.

White House Gives Conditional Approval for Shell to Drill in Arctic
Source: New York Times
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141090419
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration gave conditional approval on Monday to allow Shell Gulf of Mexico, Inc. to start drilling for oil and gas in the Arctic Ocean this summer.

The approval is a major victory for Shell and the rest of the petroleum industry, which has sought for years to drill in the remote waters of the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, which are believed to hold vast reserves of oil and gas.

“We have taken a thoughtful approach to carefully considering potential exploration in the Chukchi Sea, recognizing the significant environmental, social and ecological resources in the region and establishing high standards for the protection of this critical ecosystem, our Arctic communities, and the subsistence needs and cultural traditions of Alaska Natives,” Abigail Ross Hopper, director of the Interior Department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said in a statement. “As we move forward, any offshore exploratory activities will continue to be subject to rigorous safety standards.”

The two most probable truthful answers that probably are mentally haunting many/most DU-folk are, "No," and "No difference." Carter-esque tax-and-regulate economics have stifled the US economy. And worse-than-Carter-esque foreign policies have multiplied and exacerbated hell-holes worldwide, and alienated friends and allies, as most DU-folk are aware, if reluctant to acknowledge.

Actually, Obama did most of what he said he would. Almost all of it would hurt the US if carried out, and the DUmmies knew and applauded that fact.

I really like how the "Are you better off" question is no longer about 'history' but about theoretical situations instead. - could it be that people lived much better under the Booooosh administration than they do now under The Lightbringer ?

Problem is they don't see them as broken promises.  They believe obama when he blames everyone but himself for not fulfilling his promises and see him as a victim of either racism,  the evil VRWC, or both.
