President Obama endorses Debbie Wasserman Schultz

[_Some Schmo]

Wow Obama. Not cool.

I still find a little sad the disparity between the promise of Obama and the reality. Unfortunately, he's more politician than agent of change.

This comes just as I was starting to remember what I liked about Obama back in 2008.

I too was some what disappointed, but given the alternatives I'd still pick Obama over McCain/Romney. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Frankly, I'm confused about what Obama was supposed to be, what he actually became, and what we're supposed to think Hillary is compared to Bernie and how that relates to what we were supposed to think about Obama.

Is Bernie supposed to be what we hoped Obama was, and we're supposed to vote for Bernie because he'll actually do what he says, unlike Obama, but Obama was still better than Hillary, who we shouldn't support today, unless she gets the nomination?

Makes me long for a simpler time...

Debbie Wasserman Shultz is in the middle of that corrupt slide where you begin to think you're doing good by doing well. When you control who has access to the computer lists and you use that power to influence elections, you are intentionally fighting on the side of the status quo, and you are giving an unfair advantage to those in power. Deciding primaries should not be in her job description. That's the job description of the voters.

Exactly.

Not to mention that she just co-sponsored a bill that protects predatory lending. So when the president said:

"Throughout my time as President I have seen Debbie bring an unwavering commitment to her family, her constituents, and our shared goals of protecting seniors, supporting working families, and expanding economic opportunity for more people. I strongly endorse her reelection to Congress and look forward to her future service on behalf of the people of South Florida"

I threw up a little in my mouth.

I liked Obama back in 2008 as an orator, but as I've said here before, I was never head over heals for him. In fact, I was on the fence between him and McCain right up until Palin happened.

Bernie actually gives me real hope due to what I perceive as his sincerity. That's the crux of my support for him. He's the only guy I can ever remember who actually seems genuinely concerned about all Americans. I don't agree with everything he says, but he's a thousand times better than any of the other yahoos on either side.

And other Bernie supporters may support Hillary, but I won't be one of them.
