(50,254 posts)in favor of someone to his right, someone who doesn't care about peace(she's on the Armed Services Committee and never objected there to a damn dime spent for war, and nobody in her district benefits from war spending).
And Obama was the one who promised "card-check", so he had an obligation to fight as hard for that as for health care(or harder, since he really didn't do a damn thing to get healthcare through and didn't even mind that the important stuff was all removed).
And it's meaningless to say that "Obama wasn't on the ballot in 2010". The whole damn election was about Obama. He had an OBLIGATION to spend every day of the fall on the stump firing people up. And he didn't even try. He refused to accept that off-year elections are about galvanizing the base and that the "independents" don't matter in the off-year(not that the independents were demanding that Obama be to the right of the base, as far as that goes).
And this thread was never intended to be Kucinich Vs. Obama. So why did you have to show up here and trash?
Kucinich has core values. Does Obama? I'll be supporting Obama, on the lesser-evil terms we had every right to expect would NEVER be imposed again, but we were essentially promised that we wouldn't have any more elections fought on the theme of "at least we lost LESS ground".
