it's "we" who sold this president down the tube by not supporting him in the 2010 mid-terms.

What utter BS.
Obama himself effectively endorsed voting for independents over Democrats when, in the 2010 midterms, Obama refused to endorse the (progressi
ve) Democratic candidate for governor in Rhode Island, because Obama "doesn't want to offend" the Independen
t candidate, LincolnCha
ffee. One effect of that is the suppressio
n of the Democratic turnout in Rhode Island, thus risking PatrickKen
nedy's seat going 'R' (Kennedy is leaving the House, not running for reelection
).
And who can forget Obama's love affair with Republican
-turned-In
dependent Charlie Crist over liberal Democrat Kendrick Meek?
Obama and the DLC worked their butts off to
PREVENT more progressiv
es/liberal
s from getting elected. Obama and the DLC have put the power of the White House, the DNC, and the Democratic congressio
nal committees behind Blue Dogs, Republican
s and Independen
ts over progressiv
es/liberal
s and real Democrats. Some, but not all, examples:
Blue Dog Blanche Lincoln over progressiv
e Democrat Lt. Governor Bill Halter.

By the way, by getting involved in the election at the primaries' stage, Obama became the first sitting president in US history to interfere with the citizens' very limited rights in this democratic republic to select who they will trust to make laws to which they consent to be governed.
Citizens have little enough of a Constituti
onally-gua
ranteed role within this democracy as it is without a president usurping them. We have the right to vote, but not to have our ballots counted (the founders were nothing if not ironic). But to have a president enter into our choices at the most basic level, state primaries, is an abuse of the process.
Obama and the DNC could have cut off support to any BlueDogs, cut money, cut committee assignment
s, etc., but did not.
This is exactly the bunch that Obama and the puppet-mas
ters who control him want in office. On both sides of the aisle. Obama, Ds and Rs in office, working on behalf of transnatio
nal corporatio
ns.
