Obama had this tremendous Democratic army to fight the Republicans with in 08 and then he disbanded it, so he could move to the right and not have to deal with them. And then when he did that he told them to quit whining. These millions of supporters he told to quit whining. Imagine how hurt they were. He then ran the government with a small tight circle. And much of his circle were mediocre thinkers. People he could control.

He never seemed to give a damn about the Democratic party, or the danger the pubs were reigning on our country. After the depression his #2 and #3 priorities should have been to bolster the Democratic party and pack the courts with liberals.

He did neither. And despite what many think, he did run to the left of Hillary.

I was eating dinner with two left wing lawyer friends last night and one said: "I voted for him for his army. I looked at how disorganized Hillary was and liked what I saw." One said she thought he was trying to follow Clintons game plan, but times are different now.

"Nixon just looks good in relation to the crazy shit we see today. He was a full blown criminal"

So was Al Capone, and he was the guy who started soup kitchens. Criminals can have good ideas. Nixon is much more progressive than Obama, who has done not that much to reverse a slide to the right and the rich (never forget he paid for his Obama tax cuts in '10 by cutting Liheap, among other things) and to the corporate state (health insurance industry included).
