In reply to the discussion: Sanders: Obama lost touch with grass-roots movement! [View all]NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)And Obama has lost touch.
Excellent efforts at turning the economy around with complete opposition from republicans.
Millions more with access to healthcare. Including government subsidized healthcare.
Staunch advocate at the highest level for lgbqt rights.
Supported and signed Dodd-Frank
De-escalated the war in Iraq.
Gave GM the chance to stay in business, saving countless jobs. That is to the tune of over 60 billion more than the shrub gave them. In 2011 the big three all gained market share.
Removed banks from student loans and expanded Pell Grants.
Boosted fuel efficiency standards.
Helped increase EPA regulations.
Signed Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
Signed the fair sentencing act.
The list just goes on an on. Obama hasn't lost touch with them, most are still his biggest advocates. Don't conflate Sanders movement with Obama's. They aren't the same.
