President Barack Obama: A Phenomenal President That History Will Remember Well
President Barack Obama addresses an Organizing for Action (OFA) summit in Washington
A powerful speech full of facts. Shame on the Democrats fundraising against President Obama. That includes you, Sen. Elizabeth Warren. He has proven himself over and over and over again. He brought us back from the brink of a depression and saved the economy; which has been creating jobs month after month. Over 16 million people have comprehensive and affordable insurance thanks to him. He saved the auto industry. He has been a champion for the environment. He put two women on the Supreme Court. He fought for credit card and Wall Street Reform. The first bill he signed was the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law. He cut taxes for over 98% of middle and working class families. He is proposing free community college. He increased Pell Grants for millions of students. He reformed the student loan program. He righted the wrong of the crack cocaine and powder cocaine sentencing laws. He created an effective and comprehensive task force to curb the surge of police violence against citizens. He has put money into job training so that millions can have a better future. He has made sure Native Americans have a seat at the table and have a hand in creating policies that protect and make sure their communities flourish. He has been fighting for economic fairness and against income inequality years before these so called Democrats considered it an issue. He has fought for LGBT rights. What more must he do to prove that he is ALWAYS and has ALWAYS been on the side of working, middle class, and marginalized folks?
Shame on any Democrat who distances himself or herself from President Barack Obama. Shame on any Democrat saying this trade agreement would destroy America. That includes you, Sen. Warren. He campaigned hard for her. That he has to defend himself like this is abhorrent. Shame on them. They are not fit to shine his shoes. He has been a phenomenal president and history will remember him well.

Yet....What more must he do to prove that he is ALWAYS and has ALWAYS been on the side of working, middle class, and marginalized folks?
= new reply since forum marked as read
As best I can see we walk hand in hand
always-wrong Right and those on the far-Left who don't like him for whatever reason they can conjure, he's already seen as one of our greatest presidents.
Having won both of his elections with over 51% of the vote says as much. 
I guess you should know from Reagan, and all that...
Like I said, people can draw their own conclusions without your assistance.
I just find it deeply ironic that you, of all people, would reach for the Reagan comparisons without batting an eye.
I have no use for Reaganites, particularly the holier than thou types.
I never called him a new messiah, now did I?
You on the other hand intimated...
good qualities but new messiah is not one of them IMO
That those that support him are mindless worshipers. We mindlessly adore. Way to go msongs! Way to go! 
Okay, that's what you read here. Got it. I guess, I think?! Wait, what???? I have no clue where you are coming from. Thanks for the laugh.
Got it.
Do not, repeat do not, rise to the bait. We need you here.
Thank you Hekate. Will remain calm or ignore them in my mind, 'cause I see all that is said. I have no one on ignore. 
I so love ya sista!
your post, Scurrilous!
Damn that was good.
Brava or Bravo!
You have no clue about his supporters at all. You call them fans Are we stupid mindless groupies>
So just to piss you off here is a picture, or two of his awesomeness.
I so love this.
Wow, you said this. I can't believe it. Obama is an image to us? We are just stupid fans of a perceived idol. This President lacks depth and intellect as do his supporters.
not fans who like his image.
'
Holy..................Dear goddess save us all. We can't have fun for one moment? We are not allowed to celebrate this President?
Love Pres. Carter.
I also agree with she2. 
You are a blessing to DU. One of the best.
loving person as yourself.
Mahalo for posting this, she.. This dustup with Sen Warren has been on my mind all day since I read this ..
Elizabeth Warren is Not Telling the Truth About The Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal
snip//
More precisely, President Obama is telling the truth about the deal, and Senator Warren is not. Since the TPP deal is still under negotiation, the merits of the final agreement are (or will be) debatable, but the deceptive rhetoric being employed by Warren is not.
snip//
"This is not a new phenomenon, and one which Sen. Warren seems to understand in the context of the P5+1 talks. When she is shocked, SHOCKED that the TPP deal isn’t available for public viewing while it is still being negotiated, she is not telling you the truth. She knows that the reason the deal isn’t available while it’s being negotiated is, right or wrong, because public pressure could, at any point, derail a flawed but fixable agreement. The reason she gives, however, is quite literally unbelievable:
Seriously, Sen. Warren? “People” have given it to you? Way to narrow it down, because I was going to go away convinced you’d been advised by hoot owls, who are notorious liars. Why the secrecy, though? If these “people” are so sure TPP is a horrible deal, why can’t we talk to them? Can other people besides you see them?
Senator Warren calls TPP a “top secret” deal, she’s not telling you the truth. Any member of Congress can see it now, and before Congress votes on it, the final deal will be posted online for 60 days. What we can see now is the USTR summary of the deal, which, granted, isn’t the deal, but it isn’t nothing.
Finally, when Senator Warren says that the TPA bill leaves us “virtually no ability to stop it from the Senate or the House,” or concern-trolls about “fixing” a final deal through an amendments process that TPA shuts off, she’s not telling you the truth. The final deal, after its 60-day public review period, will receive an up-or-down vote, which means Congress can quite easily stop the deal. It just means that a minority in Congress can’t obstruct the deal. Ditto the amendments, which would not be a way to “fix” a final deal since the other 11 nations involved would also insist on that authority, irreparably gumming up the negotiations. Amendments, in this case, are a way to obstruct a final deal. See “nuclear deal, Iran” once again."
MOre..

good coming from Sen Warren but this disingenuous red meat rhetoric is not helping. 
Aloha and Mahalo
I am listening to both sides on TPP. I have to admit, much of the talk is beyond my ken. So I won't speak about that which I am still in the process of trying to understand.
But the subject line nails it: President Barack Obama: A Phenomenal President That History Will Remember Well
Always happy to contribute in some small way.
And hello 4now!
Thanks!
Ha, I post pics, cause I like pics. sometimes I do it to piss off the masses.
Ha!
So when you are remembering that there is another human being on the other end of the kb - or however you phrased it in your OP - you are picturing them being angry because of something you posted.
I thought your OP was all about being nice to others? You never did answer but I'll take this as you saying that you only need to be nice to people who agree with you or who have a disability. And the latter might be in question, since you have no idea if you are pissing off someone who has a disability. If, in fact, you are even actually pissing anyone off at all. Most of the people you think this might piss off are well above that sort of thing. They are actually here discussing real issues and policy.
So that makes you feel good, to think you are pissing people off. Wow. So much for your OP.
Apply liberally to the outrage...
Okay, says the benighted ones, but Fast and Furious! Umbrella Gate! Benghazi! Email gate (wait, those two are someone else), and, uh, ANWAR, Keystone!
All the GOP media said so! We have a lot invested in books and articles and outrage! It pays the rent! We refuse to listen to your debunking and read blue links!
*Just thought you might need the comic relief before TSTF...*
I did need some comic relief, I love you freshwest.
Thank you!
If only it were true. And if the dispute resolution mechanism is such a burden on signatory states the don't have to sign on and so far they haven't. Anyway these straight-from-Democracy-now tales of terror round the bed are pretty funny so please proceed governor.
Gotta go.
Lol~
I thanked him for dropping by to let us know.
yet~
This President hates us. He will destroy us all. It has been his plan all along.
Love you ucrdem.
Some here just have the need for smelling salts..............
Ain't that the truth!
yeah, exactly, that is what President Obama is after. 
Sounds like a right winger.
Because only a Republican would oppose my President on this!
Lol~
Hey, check this out:
200+ reliable troll recs notwithstanding.
Best President in my lifetime.
In my humble opinion, one of the five best Presidents in American history.
Steered the country away from the biggest economic catastrophe since the Great Depression. Spearheaded the biggest health care reform in American history. Got us out of two wars. Did not start any wars. Pro-environment. Helped save the auto industry while helping American tax payers profit from the deal. Withdrew support for pipeline, thinking of his daughters and all Americans' young children. Restored diplomacy as a first resort. Supported & helped pass some of the most important social legislation since the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. Oversaw a complete shift in national and local thinking and acceptance of gay marriage and gays in the military. Pushed progressive causes despite vehement Congressional opposition (even in his first two years of his first term when the opposition from democrats was to his right not to his left). Less corruption in his entire Administration that perhaps in any other Administration in American history. Maintained a phenomenal demeanor while being the smartest person in the room, and the wittiest, most compassionate and sincere. Made the word progressive a positive. Introduced the ideas of free community college and reducing or eliminating student loans. Never gave up hope and change. Proved his detractors wrong, over and over and over. His positive effect on younger generations will be felt forever. And there's more to come.
I'm only scratching the surface. This is just off the top of my head. Just adding my two cents to sheshe2's awesome thread.
Elizabeth Warren has to say about it.
Awesome Cha!
“Show us the bill!”
“Why is it secret!?”
“This is NAFTA 2!!”
Everyone agrees that no one has seen anything of the deal aside from the summary. And, in perusing the summary, I don’t see anything which approaches an excuse for the Gotterdammerung levels of hysteria.
“It’s being negotiated in secret! It must be bad!”
Name me one treaty which has been negotiated live on C-SPAN.
“NAFTA was awful, so all trade pacts are awful!”
This is a very parochial view. Without growing trade, the economy won’t grow. And NAFTA provides lessons in how not to forge a trade pact, which Pres. Obama is following.
“There are no wage/labor/environmental protections!”
That’s just false. The summary shows this. You can only believe this if you, without evidence, assume the summary is false propaganda.
And that last point leads into the meat of the essay.
“Obama must be lying. He’s sold us out. He’s the corporatist we always knew he was.”
Pres. Obama has operated under a handicap for the 6 and a half years of his presidency.
No, I’m not talking about him being the nation’s first African-American president. There is that. But I’ve come to realize that’s not his largest handicap.
No, I’m referring to the almost messianic hopes pinned on his presidency.
Yes, his campaign and governing themes have been “hope” and “change”. But I defy anyone to point to me where he says “I am the hope,” or “I am the change.”
People heard the words “hope” and “change” and zoned out after that, without listening to the full message. “You are the hope.” “You are the change.”
Nothing is easy. Pres. Obama didn’t promise a path laid with primroses. He emphasized that nothing changes without struggle, without sweat. But Americans, being Americans, pinned all their hopes on a magical being. And when life, being what it is, turned out to be much messier than they had envisioned, they turned on a dime and blamed Pres. Obama.
“He betrayed us! There’s no change, no hope!”
