(15,234 posts)Starting with the "sandbagged on public option" during ACA thing.
His party has left him hanging almost from day one, let republicans chew his ass off 1,000,000 different ways and times with absolutely no one standing to his defense, and being just short of completely worthless on the health care debate.
In an era where one party is united as one, literally never breaking ranks by so much as one fricken member in congress in opposition to the POTUS, his party has been spineless and rudderless.
He didn't write ACA, he signed it.
Had the democratic majority in congress put a public option into ACA, you think he would have vetoed it?
You got a beef with how the ACA played out, your beef is with the democrats in congress.
I get the opposition to this trade agreement, and taking a stand on it is the right thing.
But, again, in light of the opposition party that stood behind the worst president in our lives 100 percent, framed him as TOUGH AND RESOLUTE and HE KEPT US SAFE after the twit ignored warnings and hid in a mountain during 9-11, it burns my ass to see democrats gleefully snipping at a democratic party president when the democrats in congress during his tenure have been pretty much worthless in their opposition to REPUBLICANS.
If they were 1/10th as feisty with them as they are with him, things might have been different the last 6 years.
