I am so tired of Democrats not having the President's back - especially when he's right.
"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat." - Will Rogers

It's as true today as it was when he said those words 80 years ago.

Sen. Feinstein has done her best to undermine the President on a whole host of foreign policy issues and it has to stop. Obama too cautious on ISIS? Is she purposely using Hillary Clinton's rhetoric to deepen any potential divide there? Seriously? She's one of the most visible Democrats in the country and going on television to basically claim the President is too weak doesn't help ANYONE. She's regurgitating Republican talking points - but what's worse, she's doing it from the right. I get sometimes hitting the President from the left, however, suggesting he needs to be more hawkish?

Then again, she supported Bush's war. So...

Unemployment in the military contracting field is higher now than it has been in 10 years.

4. So true, and it helps Republicans immensely

There's a time for everything. This close to midterms, why isn't Dianne thinking more of getting more house seats? She knows how ignorant the public is and that this will make it look like Dems can't get anything done. She is probably involved in something without thinking of the big picture.

Poor fiendstein. Getting the DU bus tire tracks all across her back.

But wait... there is more!

5. Yea, but most days I forget that Feinstein is a Democrat.

... She's better than the alternative, right?

I'm wondering why California can't do better.

8. Some people get lucky when their superiors are killed

She's one of them. She became Mayor of San Francisco when Moscone was killed and she's never looked back since. She doesn't even bother to campaign other than to put a couple of token ads up. She's the darling of all those Corporations headquartered in San Francisco. No one in the Bay Area runs against her.

I've actually asked Barbara Lee to run against her for the Senate, and the response she seemed to give me was she would never be able to raise enough money to run against her and she would never be able to do her job because she would have to spend all her time raising money.

I would love to have Barbara Lee as my Senator. I'm delighted to have her as my Congresswoman!

17. Does DF do townhall meetings?

If so, is she ever asked about her hawkishness and her family's income from it? How does she feel about sacrificing others ' lives for wealth? Has anybody ever tried to get her on record yet?

feindstein is rich and like a republican? Oh my!

7. You are right, NO ONE in the Democratic party has Pres. Obama's back.

No one. Not Senate majority leader ('he seems clean and articulate')Reid and especially
no one in the house. There has not been an American death in a war that Feinstein and
her husband have not profited from. More war really? Anyone old enough to remember
during the Vietnam war when one of the arguments for war was 'we have to stop them
there before they come to the US'? Defense contractors (100% white and male) getting
richer and infrastructure, schools, middle class getting poorer.

Dummies cannot figure out why the dems are running from obumbles. Even the dems are figuring out he is worthless.

Some comments put together.

10. Obama's foreign policy has consistently been to the left of HRC

resisting defense contractors has been a core Obama strength.

26. Very True, n_b!

I spend my share of time here at DU criticizing the President where his actions fall short of his stated ideals. But on foreign policy, Obama has gotten it largely right: extricating us from two wars as best he can and keeping us out of others. Libya was/is a bit of a cluster****, and Syria has come close to being so (and very well could still become one for us), but overall, President Obama deserves abundant credit for not being a warmonger.

48. As someone who works for the Feds, you are absolutely right. He has curved that approach tremendousl

And no one gives him credit.

Liberals are often worse than any conservative, Republican or Democrat, in that we refused to have this man's back.

11. Her husband is a war profiteer.

She is exactly the kind of dems we need to get rid of. I haven't voted for her the last 3 times. She was horrendous before the Iraq war.

Did one of them finally play the "Israel/Joooooos" card, or did they just keep waltzing around it.

If you ever needed a thread that explained why libs just don't get it when it comes to militant Islam, that's a good one.

Feinstein is the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.  I suspect she sees the threat reports on a daily basis and takes them seriously.

I've long said that CA's US Senators have half a brain between them; usually it stays between them, but DiFei occasionally uses it. As for Babs Boxer, well, what do you expect of a pol who can't balance their checkbook.

Barbara Lee? Ron "Red" Dellums's hand-picked successor: she's like Pete Stark, Mad Maxine Waters, or Sheila Kackson Lee with mouth control.

Why does Feinstein hate raising the minimum wage, golf, and the black man in the White House? 

This was one of the most interesting threads over on Skin's Island.  Most of the threads over there are nonsense.  It is getting harder and harder to distract themselves from what a colossal failure Barry is. 

DUmmies, admit what a failure Barry is.  Come live in reality.
